A method for synthesizing two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets comprises heating a bulk material in a solvent. The process is scalable and can be used to produce solution-processable 2D nanosheets with uniform properties in large volumes.

A sensor and a method of using the sensor are disclosed. The sensor includes a conductive region in electrical communication with two electrodes, the conductive region including metallic nanowires, nanosized particles of a dichalcogenide, and a mercaptoimidazolyl metal-ligand complex. The sensor can be used to detect volatile compounds that have a double or triple bond.

A method for producing doped, van der Waals ferromagnetic materials is disclosed. Such materials can take the form of monolayer iron-doped transition metal dichalcogenides. Such materials are useful for the manufacture of semiconductors, as high curie temperatures are achieved (i.e., those exceeding room temperature), which allows for the preservation of useful ferromagnetic and semiconducting properties across a wider range of conditions.

Provided herein is a nanopore structure, which in one aspect is a “carbon nanotube porin”, that comprises a short nanotube with an associated lipid coating. Also disclosed are compositions and methods enabling the preparation of such nanotube/lipid complexes. Further disclosed is a method for therapeutics delivery that involves a drug delivery agent comprising a liposome with a NT loaded with a therapeutic agent, introducing the therapeutic agent into a cell or a tissue or an organism; and subsequent release of the therapeutic agents into a cell.
