Innovative new 2D sensors could be embedded in devices to monitor performance without adding weight.
Although researchers have been able to transfer 2D materials from one surface to another, the current method cannot transfer complex assemblies that include transistors and electrodes. To that end, the team from Rice University created a ‘sacrificial layer’ made of polydimethylglutarimide (PMGI). This material features a sturdy bottom layer that keeps the circuits intact while still allowing them to be easily removed for transfer. These active 2D sensors are the first of their kind, and could be used to monitor deep sea ocean cables as well as having applications in biosensing and plasmonics.
