A shield for 2D materials that adds vibrations to reduce vibration problems: Ultra-thin, protective, liquid-metal-printed layer improves performance of electronics, suppressing vibrational resistance

Monash University researchers have demonstrated a new, counterintuitive way to protect atomically-thin electronics -- adding vibrations, to reduce vibrations. By 'squeezing' a thin droplet of liquid gallium, graphene devices are painted with a protective coating of glass, gallium-oxide. This oxide is remarkably thin, less than 100 atoms, yet covers centimetre-wide scales, making it potentially applicable…
