These materials are one-atom-thick. view more  Credit: Marlayna Demond for UMBC New 2D materials have the potential to transform technologies, with applications from solar cells to smartphones and wearable electronics, explains UMBC s Can Ataca, assistant professor of physics. These materials consist of a single layer of atoms bound together in a crystal structure. In fact, they re so thin that a stack of 10 million of them would only be 1 millimeter thick. And sometimes, Ataca says, less is more. Some 2D materials are more effective and efficient than similar materials that are much thicker.
