The 2D materials comprise a single or double layer of atoms, so investigating their properties requires the use of electron microscopy. Point defects—such as missing atoms—can be instrumental in ...

For decades, the scanning tunnelling microscope has been the gold standard for seeing matter one atom at a time. By hovering ...
