(Phys.org) —While there has been much research lately on the development of flexible electronic devices that can be integrated into clothes, glasses, watches, and even skin, the limiting factor of this technology is the ...
(Phys.org) —Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are being widely studied for their potential applications in many areas; for example, as electrode materials for energy storage, as transparent conductive films, and as ...
(Phys.org) —In the growing area of flexible, transparent electronic devices, silicon has not played much of a role. Instead, materials such as indium tin oxide, carbon nanotubes, and others are often used to make bendable ...
(Phys.org) —There has been a great deal of research lately on flexible electronics, but so far these devices (which are mostly made of carbon) still use metal electrodes and oxide insulators, and these rigid materials limit ...
Carbon nanotubes have the potential to function as light-emitting devices, which could lead to a variety of nanophotonics applications. However, nanotubes currently have a low luminescence quantum yield, typically around ...
(Phys.org) —Throughout the '70s, '80s and '90s, transistor performance continually increased according to some simple scaling rules. These rules postulate that transistor size and supply voltage should decrease as power ...
(Phys.org) —Future transistors made of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWNTs) have the potential to perform much better than today's transistors. However, when SWNTs are grown in bulk, only about two-thirds ...
(Phys.org)—Single-walled carbon nanotubes may one day replace the silicon in electronics, but in order to do so, the nanotubes must be aligned in dense arrays for optimal performance. So far, the highest nanotube density ...
(Phys.org)—Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are renowned for their thinness, having diameters as small as 3 angstroms (Å), or 0.3 nm. It's generally thought that ultrathin CNTs with diameters smaller than 3 Å are unstable because, ...
(Phys.org) -- An electron’s spin is separate from its motion, and is suitable for use in both highly-precise magnetic sensing as well as a qubit in quantum computing. Recently, scientists at the University of Konstanz ...
