The correct option is C

c) Both 1 and 2


Indian scientists develop world’s thinnest material with novel technique

The nanosheets synthesized by researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar, using Magnesium diboride – a compound of boron – represent a two-dimensional material that has never existed before.

Such a material can find a range of applications – from next-generation batteries to ultraviolet absorbing films.

A human hair is about 80,000 nanometers wide, while the approximate diameter of human DNA is 2.5 nanometer.

2D planar materials are just a few microns (one-millionth of a meter) long and wide, and their thickness is one nanometer.
