As funding and interest in industrial-scale applications of 2D materials and their heterostructures grows, researchers leverage their unique properties such as weak interlayer bonding, anisotropic electronic properties, and surface sensitivity to develop new technologies in van der Waals wafer bonding, tunable optical thin films, and environmental sensors. In this talk, I will highlight several ongoing research efforts to transition wafer-scale 2D material films into relevant technologies and discuss the current and future state of the field of 2D material deposition.
