Scalable engineered blood vessels would improve clinical applicability. Using easily sizable 3D-printed guides, rings of vascular smooth muscle were created and stacked into a tubular form, forming a vascular graft. Grafts can be sized to meet the range of human coronary artery dimensions by simply changing the 3D-printed guide size.

Source: Roberto Leon, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA In contrast to the production of cars or toasters, where millions of identical copies are made and extensive prototype testing is possible, each civil engineering structure is unique and very expensive to reproduce (Fig.1). Therefore, civil engineers must extensively rely on analytical modeling to design their structures. These models are simplified abstractions of reality and are used to...

This study presents a residue-free fabrication methodology for producing single flakes of two-dimensional materials and assembling them into complex heterostructures using only van der Waals interactions. The technique eliminates the need for external substances and specific experimental conditions, enabling complex heterostructure assemblies through bottom-up, top-down, and modular stacking processes.

FAQs
Interlayer spacing and twist angle can change how adjacent atomically thin crystals interact. Those geometric parameters influence electronic, optical, and mechanical behavior, allowing engineers to tune a heterostructure without changing the individual sheets themselves. Controlling them is therefore central to designing layered materials with properties suited to transistors, photodetectors, sensors, flexible devices, or energy technologies.
Van der Waals forces hold the vertically assembled layers together, allowing separate crystals to form a layered structure without requiring the overview-level properties of each sheet to be identical. This interaction supports combining materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides. Its relevance lies in enabling engineered interfaces whose collective behavior can differ from that of either material alone.
Interface control determines how accurately the layers are positioned relative to one another, including their spacing and angular alignment. Because these features can modify electronic, optical, and mechanical responses, imprecise interfaces may prevent the intended material behavior from emerging. In engineering, careful interface design connects nanoscale assembly choices with more predictable device performance.
A typical assembly sequence begins with separate atomically thin sheets, such as graphene or transition metal dichalcogenides. The sheets are transferred, positioned in a vertical arrangement, and aligned to establish the intended interlayer spacing and twist angle. The resulting layers are held together by van der Waals forces, while interface precision supports the targeted properties.
The approach supports several device directions, including transistors, photodetectors, sensors, flexible devices, and energy technologies. Its value comes from combining material properties within one layered architecture rather than relying on a single crystal. Engineers can therefore investigate heterostructures designed for electronic, optical, or mechanical functions across multiple device categories.
2D material stacking provides a way to translate atomic-scale design variables, particularly layer alignment, spacing, and interface quality, into device-level behavior. This connection is important because useful engineering outcomes depend not only on selecting materials, but also on assembling them reproducibly. Research therefore emphasizes precise stacking as a foundation for developing practical layered devices and technologies.
