The nanoscale electronic parts in devices like smartphones are solid, static objects that once designed and built cannot transform into anything else. But University of California, Irvine physicists have reported the discovery ...
How can Marvel movie character Ant-Man produce such strong energy out of his small body? The secret lies in the transistors on his suit that amplify weak signals for processing. Transistors that amplify electrical signals ...
The discovery of new quantum materials with magnetic properties could pave the way for ultra-fast and considerably more energy-efficient computers and mobile devices. So far, these types of materials have been shown to work ...
According to research published in The Journal of Â鶹ÒùÔºical Chemistry Letters, Prof. Ding Junfeng from Institute of Solid State Â鶹ÒùÔºics (ISSP), Hefei Institutes of Â鶹ÒùÔºical Science, together with Prof. Wang Weihua from Nankai ...
Electrostatic doping has been widely used in low-dimensional materials, including carbon nanotube (CNT) and two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Unlike conventional ...
National University of Singapore (NUS) physicists have discovered a novel form of ferroelectricity in a single-element bismuth monolayer that can produce regular and reversible dipole moments for future applications of non-volatile ...
Microelectronics forms the foundation of much modern technology today, including smartphones, laptops and even supercomputers. It is based on the ability to allow and stop the flow of electrons through a material. Spin electronics, ...
Novel, ultrathin nanomaterials exhibit remarkable properties. If you stack individual atomically thin layers of crystals in a vertical assembly, for example, fascinating physical effects can occur. For instance, bilayers ...
A team of researchers has developed a new method for exfoliating MoS2 flakes that produces very large and very thin flakes with high yield. The microwave-assisted exfoliation yields 50 times more flakes than those obtained ...
In a study published in Advanced Materials, a research team led by Prof. Luo Xuan from Hefei Institutes of Â鶹ÒùÔºical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences made a breakthrough in tuning electronic properties of ...
