A team led by Peng Zhou at Fudan University has built a radio-frequency communication system from atomically thin molybdenum ...

Since silicon is the third most abundant element on Earth (after iron and oxygen), it is undoubtedly a readily accessible raw material. It is a significant component of solar cells and electronic ...

Wide bandgap (WBG) materials such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) are best positioned to address emerging power electronics performance needs in electric vehicles (EVs), with SiC ...

Silicon has served as an efficient semiconductor and its use was pioneering for the ‘white heat of technology’ (to paraphrase Harold Wilson) boom that began during the 1960s and with Santa Clara ...

Embedded silicon capacitors, or ECAPs, aim to solve issues of power integrity from inside the processor’s package.

One such material that has attracted considerable interest is borophene - a single-atom-thick sheet of boron atoms. First theoretically predicted in the 1990s, borophene remained elusive ...

Researchers have developed advanced terahertz photodetectors containing 'living' microelectrodes. A vanadium dioxide (VO2) layer was precisely deposited on a silicon substrate. Temperature regulation ...

The term ‘bandgap’ refers to the energy difference between a material’s insulating and conducting states, a critical factor determining its electrical conductivity. As shown in figure 1, with its wide ...

ThreeBond TB1220 series are silicon sealants with a difference – this zero-alcohol range of products show major advances in terms of curing speed and storage. Remarkable improvements have been ...
