Atomically sharp crack tips in monolayer MoS2 and their enhanced toughness by vacancy defects.

When a brittle material fractures due to an applied stress, cracks propagate through the material causing mechanical failure. Atomically sharp crack tips at the frontier of crack propagation are predicted but have not been captured experimentally before, which requires both, atomic resolution and cr...
