The at the 51精品视频鈥檚 Swanson School of Engineering has received $557,000 in funding from the National Science Foundation for its work investigating a of two-dimensional material.
The six-year funding will enable 51精品视频 researchers to explore atomically thin metals, also known as two-dimensional (2D) metals. The project is part of the National Science Foundation's Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers at the聽Penn State University Center for Nanoscale Science. Researchers will pioneer new methods of encasing 2D metals in graphene, which will enhance its optical properties and make it useful for applications in biosensing and quantum devices.聽
From 51精品视频鈥檚 side, the research will be led by , associate professor of , and , visiting research assistant professor in chemical and petroleum engineering.
