Graphene (/ˈɡræf.iːn/) is an allotrope of carbon in the form of a two-dimensional, atomic-scale, honey-comb lattice in which one atom forms each vertex.

Quantum dots (QD) are very small semiconductor particles, only several nanometres in size, so small that their optical and electronic properties differ from those of larger particles.

9,10-Dithioanthracene (DTA) is an organic molecule and a derivative of anthracene with two thiol groups.

Nanocomposite is a multiphase solid material where one of the phases has one, two or three dimensions of less than 100 nanometers (nm), or structures having nano-scale repeat distances between the different phases that make up the material.

Graphane is a two-dimensional polymer of carbon and hydrogen with the formula unit (CH)n where n is large.

The medical uses of silver include its incorporation into wound dressings, creams, and as an antibiotic coating on medical devices.

A flat lens is a lens whose flat shape allows it to provide distortion-free imaging, potentially with arbitrarily-large apertures.

Graphyne is a theorized allotrope of carbon.

A terahertz metamaterial is a class of composite metamaterials designed to interact at terahertz (THz) frequencies.

Stanene is predicted to be a 2D material and a 2D topological insulator.

The production of SiCl4 by high temperature reaction of Chlorine gas with Silicon Carbide was first patented in 1918 by Otis Hutchins, with the process further optimized for higher yields in 1956.
