Monolayer

A monolayer is a single, continuous layer of molecules or atoms covering a surface. Imagine it like a thin, uniform skin just one molecule thick that evenly wraps around an object or spans a surface. Monolayers are important in various scientific and industrial applications, such as creating coatings to change a material's properties or in developing sensors and electronic devices. They are studied because their unique structures can influence interactions with their environment, making them useful in fields like materials science, chemistry, and nanotechnology.
