A rule-breaking, colorful silicone that could conduct electricity. Previously only thought to be insulating, a shift in the angle between silicon and oxygen atoms creates a highway for an electrical ...
In a carefully controlled environment, physicists have managed to stabilize a rare and previously short-lived phase of matter by using a simple method of rapid heating and cooling. This breakthrough ...
Gate insulators remain a cornerstone in the evolution of semiconductor devices, playing a critical role in regulating the flow of current while minimising leakage and improving the performance and ...
It might look like a roll of chicken wire, but this tiny cylinder of carbon atoms -- too small to see with the naked eye -- could one day be used for making electronic devices ranging from night ...
A semiconductor is a material with electrical conductivity between that of a conductor (like copper) and an insulator (like glass). Unlike conductors, which allow electricity to flow freely, and ...
A group of scientists from Hanyang University has published a report reviewing and discussing the outlook of atomic layer deposition (ALD) based oxide semiconductor thin film transistors (TFTs). The ...
Scientists at Duke University have developed a method that switches a carbon nanotube from acting like a metal to acting like a semiconductor and back again, by wrapping it with a ribbon-like polymer.
