Semiconducting carbon nanotubes are significantly better at conducting electricity at room temperature than any other known material, according to recent tests at the University of Maryland. The ...

Muscovite mica (MuM) is a highly stable mineral that is commonly used as an insulator. However, the electrical properties of single-layer and few-layered MuM are not well understood. Now, a group of ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The field of thermoelectric materials has long sought to harness waste heat and convert it into useful electricity. This technology holds immense potential for improving energy ...

An atomically thin bismuth is semiconducting in its monolayer form but can be transformed into a metal (or semimetal) when driven by an external pressure. A trilayer heterostructure composed of such ...

Researchers demonstrate how phosphorene nanoribbons' magnetic properties interact with light, paving the way for new quantum technologies. (Nanowerk News) Scientists have long suspected that ...

Researchers claims to have developed a method for producing a layer of graphene on a silicon carbide (SiC) wafer to form a semiconductor with a band gap of 0.6 eV and with room temperature electron ...

A technical paper titled “Potential of Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Transistors for Flexible Electronics Applications” was published by researchers at Advanced Microelectronic Center Aachen (AMICA) ...

Researchers have demonstrated that phosphorene nanoribbons (PNRs) exhibit both magnetic and semiconducting properties at room temperature. The research establishes PNRs as a unique class of ...
