	- For the first time, researchers have created a free-standing sheet of gold that is only one atom thick. 
 
	- This makes gold the first metal to be formulated into (freestanding) 2D sheets — opening up a host of exciting possibilities for the future.
 
	- It is not that such 2D materials have not been created before.
 
	- Since the 2004 development of graphene, the atom-thin material made of carbon, scientists have identified hundreds of 2D materials.
