Superconductive nanowire hybrid fuses semiconductor and metal with atomic precision
A novel type of nanowire crystals was demonstrated by researchers at the University of Copenhagen that can fuse together both semiconductor ...
For the first time, physicists measure electron as it jumps from semiconductor. Yes, it’s a big deal!
All our modern electronics are based on a class of wonder materials called semiconductors. What makes these so valuable is ...
Hybrid Semiconductors might Smash PV Efficiency through the Roof
A team at University of Cambridge have harvested so-called ‘dark’ spin-triplet excitons with close to 100% efficiency, a breakthrough achievement which ...
Modern ‘alchemy’ turns cement into semiconducting metal
Sure, this transmutation might not be as spectacular as that of lead into gold, but it most certainly would have ...
Scientists devise qubits in a semiconductor for the first time
Hailed as yet another big step towards devising working quantum computers, scientists at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) have successfully managed to generate quantum ...
