Hyderabad, June 30 -- A team from the University of Hyderabad (UoH), and the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IITH) has been granted a patent for fabricating one or more layered TMDC material using Bessel beam femtosecond laser ablation.

The patent introduces a new method to mass-produce high technology, microscopic materials, called transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) nanosheets, overcoming the nanotechnology size-confinement challenge, the University of Hyderabad said in a release.

The inventors behind this pioneering innovation are Dr Sai Santosh Kumar Raavi (IITH), Dr Challa Rajendra Kumar (IITH), Dr Moram Sree Satya Bharati (IITH/UoH), and Prof Soma Venugopal Rao (UoH).

TMDCs are a class of two-dimensional (2D) materia...
