India, March 10 -- The Government of India has issued a release:

Novel Quasi‑2D tellurium (Te) nanosheets developed offer an unusual approach to controlling magnetism and catalysis in a single material, facilitating indigenous solutions for sustainable hydrogen production impacting future clean‑energy production.

As devices shrink, traditional materials are becoming limited in their relevance due to instability and loss of functionality and scientists are looking for materials that can suit the changing needs. Recent predictions and experiments on 2D Te and telluride magnets suggested that breaking inversion symmetry and introducing strain could unlock spin‑orbit‑driven magnetism and ferroelectricity in elemental T...
