Calculations of the impact of friction and wear on energy consumption, economic
expenditure, and CO 2 emissions are presented on a global scale. This impact study covers …

Abstract 2D materials are now at the forefront of state‐of‐the‐art nanotechnologies due to
their fascinating properties and unique structures. As expected, low‐cost, high‐volume, and …

Since the first successful synthesis of graphene just over a decade ago, a variety of two-
dimensional (2D) materials (eg, transition metal-dichalcogenides, hexagonal boron-nitride …

Strain engineering is the process of tuning a material's properties by altering its mechanical
or structural attributes. Atomically thin two-dimensional nanomaterials (2DNMs), which have …

One hundred years after its first successful synthesis in the bulk form in 1914, black
phosphorus (black P) was recently rediscovered from the perspective of a 2D layered …

This review presents the state of the art in strain and ripple-induced effects on the electronic
and optical properties of graphene. It starts by providing the crystallographic description of …

The recent isolation of atomically thin black phosphorus by mechanical exfoliation of bulk
layered crystals has triggered an unprecedented interest, even higher than that raised by the …

Phosphorene, the single-or few-layer form of black phosphorus, was recently rediscovered
as a two-dimensional layered material holding great promise for applications in electronics …

Boosted by the great success of graphene, the past decade has witnessed the rapid
development of graphene-analogous two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials. Despite the high …

The fascinating electronic and optoelectronic properties of free‐standing graphene has led
to the exploration of alternative two‐dimensional materials that can be easily integrated with …
