"van der Waals magnetic nickel phosphorus trisulfide transition from 3D long-range- to 2D flat pattern vestigial- order state (a change in layers' thickness), causes magnetic properties to change. enabling control of magnetic properties at nano-scale using precisely engineered layers... also, transitions in multilayered graphene and NiPS3 hold great promise for developing a wide range of planar electronic devices... high performance, ultradense, low-power, flexible, transparent 2D logic/ memory circuits"
