A programmable semiconductor changes its electronic properties under UV light and reverts under a different wavelength, ...

RICHLAND, Wash.—A research team probing the properties of a semiconductor combined with a novel thin oxide film have observed a surprising new source of conductivity from oxygen atoms trapped inside.

(Nanowerk News) Phosphorus is an exciting element: It is essential for the survival of organisms and promises numerous electronic applications. With this in mind, researchers at the University of ...

Ferroelectric semiconductors represent a unique class of materials that combine the spontaneous and reversible electrical polarisation of ferroelectrics with the charge transport capabilities of ...

Semiconductor materials possess unique – and tunable – energy conductivity properties; as small band gap insulators, they can amplify an electron’s signal, for example, or only allow them to flow in ...

How can combining hydrogels and semiconductors enhance bioelectronics? This is what a recent study published in Science hopes to address as a team of more than two dozen researchers led by the ...

Researchers have created the first functional semiconductor made from graphene, a single sheet of carbon atoms held together by the strongest bonds known. The breakthrough throws open the door to a ...

A semiconductor is a material with electrical conductivity between that of a conductor (like copper) and an insulator (like glass). Unlike conductors, which allow electricity to flow freely, and ...

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have created the world’s first functional semiconductor made from graphene, a single sheet of carbon atoms held together by the strongest bonds known ...
