To fix this, the MIT researchers developed a new ultra-thin material that can sense infrared radiation without any cooling and outperforms cooled detectors at the same time. And they want to use it to ...

In the nanometer range (billionth of a meter), interactions occur between light and matter that do not happen on larger ...

A newly discovered silicone variant is a semiconductor, University of Michigan researchers have discovered—upending ...

Juan Casado Cordón, Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Malaga, considers graphene—an infinite layer of ...

Scientists discovered a colorful, flexible silicon that conducts electricity, paving the way for glowing electronics and ...

A major set of revolutionary cooling tech is solid-state cooling. This uses solid materials and some sort of additional force ...

Modern electronics, such as diodes, transistors and computer chips, are based on silicon, a typical semiconducting material. These semiconductors rely on electrons (negative charges) and/or holes ...

What's more, the new lift-off technique is generalizable beyond pyroelectric materials. The researchers plan to apply the method to make other ultrathin, high-performance semiconducting films.

To push past the limits of silicon and create the next generation of advanced electronics, scientists are on the hunt for alternative semiconducting materials. More than two decades ago, de Heer began ...

Combining these thermal and electrical characteristics, the researchers calculated the thermoelectric figure of merit (zT) for the semiconducting MAX phases. This dimensionless parameter quantifies ...

Germany's military wants its own Starlink-like satellite constellation Semiconducting materials are essential for all sorts of electronic technologies, but their manufacturing on Earth is costly ...
