A team of researchers from the U.K., Japan and the U.S. has found that Umklapp scattering in moiré superlattices can degrade the intrinsic high-temperature mobility of its graphene's charge carriers. In their paper published ...
Noise is often undesirable—for example, in a recorded conversation in a noisy room, in astronomical observations with large background signals, or in image processing. A research team from China, Spain and Germany has demonstrated ...
