Germanium defects in a diamond crystal lattice act as a reliable source for single photons, new research shows. The results are reported in Scientific Reports and provide a promising new route to building components for quantum ...
Rice University scientists have theoretically determined that the properties of atom-thick sheets of boron depend on where those atoms land.
Graphene, an atom-thick material with extraordinary properties, is a promising candidate for the next generation of dramatically faster, more energy-efficient electronics. However, scientists have struggled to fabricate the ...
In the last decade, graphene has been intensively studied for its unique optical, mechanical, electrical and structural properties. The one-atom-thick carbon sheets could revolutionize the way electronic devices are manufactured ...
(Phys.org)—A team of researches affiliated with Samsung's Advanced Institute of Technology, along with colleagues from other institutions in Korea has found a way to greatly extend lithium-ion battery life. In their paper ...
During the IEEE IITC conference in Grenoble, the nanoelectronics research center imec and Lam Research Corporation today presented a novel bottom-up prefill technique for vias and contacts. The technique, based on Electroless ...
One of the barriers to using graphene at a commercial scale could be overcome using a method demonstrated by researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
(Phys.org)—A team of researchers at Cornell University has developed a technique that allows for growing 3 atom thick semiconducting films on wafers, up to 10 centimeters across. In their paper published in the journal ...
(Phys.org)—For the first time, scientists have integrated transparency into freestanding, flexible graphene paper (FFT-GP), and demonstrated that the new material can greatly improve the performance of supercapacitors.
(Phys.org)—Graphene, a two-dimensional form of carbon, has many properties making it uniquely suited for nanodevices. For one, even though it is comprised of a network of carbon atoms, it displays extraordinary conductivity ...
