It works, but the performance results are underwhelming ...

We speak with Xirui Wang about her involvement in research that engineered semiconducting ferroelectric properties into a series of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), producing four new 2D ...

A University at Buffalo-led team has found a way to help chiral semiconductors, electronic materials whose structures are left- or right-handed like many of life's building blocks, absorb visible ...

Silicon, the standard semiconducting material used in a host of applications—computer central processing units (CPUs), semiconductor chips, detectors, and solar cells—is an abundant, naturally ...

The team at Surrey University which developed silicon lasers has synthesised an amorphous iron disilicide material offering promising semiconducting properties. The team, led by Kevin Homewood, ...

A UB engineer has made the first observation of semiconducting behavior in a carbon composite material, a finding that could revolutionize the fields of "smart" structures and electronics. The ...

The electronics industry is approaching a limit to the number of transistors that can be packed onto the surface of a computer chip. So, chip manufacturers are looking to build up rather than out.

Researchers have created a new material that uses 'redox gating' to control the movement of electrons in and out of a semiconducting material. Breakthrough could help lead to the development of new ...

A market survey for transparent electronics reported by IDTechEx predicts market growth of twenty billion dollars by 2041. According to the report, thin film transistors (TFTs), display devices, ...

A new study could pave the way to revolutionary, transparent electronics for potential integration in glass, flexible displays and smart contact lenses -- bringing to life futuristic 'scifi-like' ...
