The discovery of carbon nanotubes and the isolation of graphene from bulk graphite were individually responsible for launching entire scientific fields of inquiry into 1D and 2D nanomaterials, respectively. Researchers are taking inspiration and insights from carbon nanotubes and graphene and applying it to new or recently rediscovered 2D materials that do possess a band gap, such as black phosphorus (BP) and red phosphorus (RP). These materials may be suitable for optoelectronic applications from the near infrared region through to the visible. Over 1000 papers were published in the last two years on this topic, compared to &lt;100 papers in the last 200 years.<br/>The symposium focuses on the synthesis, charaterization, and applications of BP and RP nanostructures.<br/> <br/>
