Keep in mind that Electron microscopy images only dead things, never living.

In transmission electron microscopy. Live organisms have been viewed in environmental scanning electron microscopes before.

Pardon my ignorance... can a physical object exist in only 2 dimensions? Help me out here.

”The finding flies in the face of the fundamental description of fracture mechanics that scientists have been using to predict and define toughness since the 1920s.”

So, unsettled science?

What do they mean by “2D material”?

Obviously, even the thinnest materials have a third dimension... so this must be engineering lingo.

Two dimensional? So it has width and length but no thickness? Or thickness and length but no width? Or...?
