Monolayer two-dimensional (2D) crystals exhibit a host of intriguing properties, but the most
exciting applications may come from stacking them into multilayer structures. Interlayer and …

Triggered by the growing needs of developing semiconductor devices at ever‐decreasing
scales, strain engineering of 2D materials has recently seen a surge of interest. The goal of …

At the interfaces of 2D materials, the solid-state condensed matter physics is closely intertwined
with the mechanics in terms of adhesion/separation and friction as well as deformation of …

Out-of-plane deformation patterns, such as buckling, wrinkling, scrolling, and folding, formed
by multilayer van der Waals materials have recently seen a surge of interest. One crucial …

Nanoblisters such as nanobubbles and nanotents formed by two-dimensional (2D) materials
have been extensively exploited for strain engineering purposes as they can produce self-…

Although layered van der Waals (vdW) materials involve vast interface areas that are often
subject to contamination, vdW interactions between layers may squeeze interfacial …

Flexible piezoresistive pressure sensors have been attracting wide attention for applications
in health monitoring and human‐machine interfaces because of their simple device …

Transparent, stretchable films of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted significant attention
for applications in flexible electronics, while the lack of structural strength in CNT networks …

Measurement of in-plane elasticity of thin sheets often leverages out-of-plane poking or
bulging, also known as indentation or bulge tests. For linear elastic sheets, a load-cubic …

Two‐dimensional (2D) materials have tremendous potential to revolutionize the field of
electronics and photonics. Unlocking such potential, however, is hampered by the presence of …
