Chinese Scientists Made The World‑First Stable 2D Sheets From Non‑layered Metals (Tin, Bismuth, Lead, Indium, Gallium), Unlike 1‑Atom Graphene Sheet From Layered Graphite. Just 1–3 Atoms Thick & 200K× Thinner Than Hair, They Used “vdW Squeezing,” Pressing Metal Melt Btw MoS₂ Layers. The 2D Metals Could Transform Quantum Tech & Electronics.
