Deskripsi

The interface between vertically stacked 2D materials can host contaminants trapped within bubbles. Here, the authors show that such nano-bubbles can be used as a platform to explore the van der Waals pressure and elasticity in atomically thin films, in a previously inaccessible confined environment.
