Roadmap outlines how two-dimensional indium selenide could address silicon’s scaling and power limitations, detailing its ...

Wide bandgap (WBG) materials such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) are best positioned to address emerging power electronics performance needs in electric vehicles (EVs), with SiC ...

Since silicon is the third most abundant element on Earth (after iron and oxygen), it is undoubtedly a readily accessible raw material. It is a significant component of solar cells and electronic ...

Silicon has served as an efficient semiconductor and its use was pioneering for the ‘white heat of technology’ (to paraphrase Harold Wilson) boom that began during the 1960s and with Santa Clara ...

A team led by Peng Zhou at Fudan University has built a radio-frequency communication system from atomically thin molybdenum ...

One such material that has attracted considerable interest is borophene - a single-atom-thick sheet of boron atoms. First theoretically predicted in the 1990s, borophene remained elusive ...

The term ‘bandgap’ refers to the energy difference between a material’s insulating and conducting states, a critical factor determining its electrical conductivity. As shown in figure 1, with its wide ...

Where there’s electricity, there’s usually heat – and that’s a major hurdle for shrinking electronic devices. Scientists have now found that nanowires made of a certain isotope of silicon can conduct ...

AMES, Iowa – When Valery Levitas left Europe in 1999, he packed up a rotational diamond anvil cell and brought it to the United States. He and the researchers in his group are still using a ...

ThreeBond TB1220 series are silicon sealants with a difference – this zero-alcohol range of products show major advances in terms of curing speed and storage. Remarkable improvements have been ...

What’s that rumbling? It’s the ever-loudening boom expected to stand the silicon microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) microphone market on its collective ears. Forecasters say the market explosion ...
