Impact of Materials on Society (IMOS) - 2D Materials

As microelectronic devices continue to shrink there is a strong driving force to consider switching to 2-D materials like MoS2. These materials offer the potential of high performance even when only a few atom layers thick. In addition 2-D materials are potentially flexible and as such there is growing interest in exploring applications for devices beyond computing.
This video is a content resource for the Impact of Materials on Society (IMOS) course, an introductory level undergraduate course about Materials Science and Engineering. But it can be used independent of the IMOS course in K-12 education, informal science education and outreach as well.
The IMOS course was developed through a partnership with faculty at the University of Florida, the Materials Research Society and the Department of Defense. The IMOS course leads the way in building broader bridges between research in engineering, the humanities and social sciences. This approach creates successful technologies that address critical social issues in ways that respect human values and belief systems.
