The 2D Materials Conference 2026 brought together researchers in the field of two-dimensional materials from around the world in Munich from 8 to 13 June. Among them, some of the 2DFERROPLEX team members.
Gabriele Politi, early stage researcher at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), presented a poster showcasing his ongoing work focused on growing and characterizing samples of 3R MoS₂ crystals, a material that holds significant promise for ferroelectric and nonlinear optical applications. The poster summarized Politi’s work within the consortium.
Politi was not the only 2DFERROPLEX consortium member attending the conference. Prof. Frank Koppens from ICFO delivered a plenary talk entitled “Probing Criticalities in Moiré Materials with IR and THz Light“. Meanwhile, Prof. Jonathan Finley from TUM, as invited speaker, delivered a talk titled “Optically Probing Interactions in 2D-Semiconductors”, sharing some of the recent work concucted by he Semiconductor Nanostructures and Quantum Systems research group on excitons in van der Waals materials at the labs of the Walter Schottky Institute.
