High-throughput handling of 2D materials requires the development of a robust and scalable technique to transfer the resulting films to a desired end-stage substrate. Now, an Article by Zhongfan Liu and co-workers reports on an automated system for transferring the materials with robotics, demonstrating high production capability with high uniformity and repeatability of the transferred films. This cover shows an image of an automated robotic system designed for this purpose.
