Two-dimensional boron is a natural low-temperature superconductor, Rice University scientists have established. In fact, it may be the only 2-D material with such potential.
A stable, porous graphene nano-membrane thinner than a nanometre has been produced by researchers at ETH Zurich. That's 100,000 times thinner than a human hair.
Researchers were looking to create a flexible silver nanowire antenna that can be stretched, rolled, or twisted and always bounce back to the original shape
