Sharpened chemical scissor paves the way for tailored nanomaterials

Using a “chemical scissor”, thin materials can be tailored even at atom level. This is shown in a study published in Science. The results pave the way for new materials for use in future sustainable energy production, energy storage and electronics.

Sustainability – one layer of atoms at a time

Driven by a vision of a sustainable world, Per Eklund is leader of a research group that develops advanced materials. His funding from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation has now been extended by five years.
