Gordon Wallace’s description of research at ACES was a favourite for many delegates.
FLEET hosted the International Conference on Two-Dimensional Materials and Technologies (ICON-2DMat) in Melbourne in December 2018.
This was the first time ICON-2DMat had been held in Australia, and with around 300 international and Australian delegates attending, it was an opportunity to showcase the strength of atomically-thin materials research in Australia.
Attendance at the international conferences on 2D materials is growing, reflecting rising interest in the useful electronic, opto-electronic and material properties of atomically-thin materials.
Around 300 international and Australian delegates enjoyed 6 plenaries, 16 keynote talks, 148 oral presentations and more than 130 poster presentations.
Diverse, high-profile Australian and international plenary and keynote speakers highlighted the breadth of talent in this field. See the list of speakers.
