Nature Materials, Published online: 29 June 2023; doi:10.1038/s41563-023-01567-4

A two-dimensional atomically flat insulator with large dielectric constant and high breakdown field strength has been successfully grown. This material could serve as the dielectric and encapsulation layers for two-dimensional materials for studying their emergent physics, as well as for next-generation electronics.
