A surprising discovery about how water behaves on one of the world's thinnest 2D materials could lead to major technological ...

Publication: Understanding water behaviour on 2D material interfaces through single-molecule motion on h-BN and graphene.

Water rolls on h-BN but encounters friction on graphene. Atomic structure and substrate shape nanoscale movement, guiding advances in coatings and anti-icing surfaces.

In physical systems, transport takes many forms, such as electric current through a wire, heat through metal, or even water through a pipe. Each of these flows can be described by how easily the ...
