Studying New 2D Materials, One Molecule at a Time

The laboratory of Nan Jiang of chemistry and physics has pioneered a groundbreaking new method to examine the structural, electronic, and chemical properties of individual molecules.

“This is the first time we are able, on a single-molecule level, to look at functionalization of borophene with these particular chemicals and get the most fundamental properties of the material,” Jiang said. “This can pave the way to innovative applications in nanotechnology.
