| Interface surprises may motivate novel oxide electronic devices Posted: 23 Sep 2014 11:25 AM PDT Complex oxides have long tantalized the materials science community for their promise in next-generation energy and information technologies. Complex oxide crystals combine oxygen atoms with assorted metals to produce unusual and very desirable properties. |
| Properties in nanocomposite oxide ceramics for reactor fuel Posted: 23 Sep 2014 09:15 AM PDT The relationship between the termination chemistry and the dislocation structure of the interface offers potential avenues for tailoring transport properties and radiation damage resistance of oxide nanocomposites. |
| Future flexible electronics based on carbon nanotubes Posted: 23 Sep 2014 08:06 AM PDT Researchers have demonstrated a new method to improve the reliability and performance of transistors and circuits based on carbon nanotubes, a semiconductor material that has long been considered by scientists as one of the most promising successors to silicon for smaller, faster and cheaper electronic devices. |
| Posted: 23 Sep 2014 08:06 AM PDT "Bendy" light-emitting diode (LED) displays and solar cells crafted with inorganic compound semiconductor micro-rods are moving one step closer to reality, thanks to graphene. Currently, most flexible electronics and optoelectronics devices are fabricated using organic materials. But inorganic compound semiconductors such as gallium nitride (GaN) can provide plenty of advantages over organic materials for use in these devices -- including superior optical, electrical and mechanical properties. |
| Scientists grow a new challenger to graphene Posted: 23 Sep 2014 05:59 AM PDT Scientists have developed a new way to fabricate a potential challenger to graphene. Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms in a honeycomb lattice, is increasingly being used in new electronic and mechanical applications, such as transistors, switches and light sources, thanks to the unprecedented properties it offers: very low electrical resistance, high thermal conductivity and mechanically stretchable yet harder than diamond. Now researchers have developed molybdenum di-sulphide. |
| New computer model to aid greener, leaner aircraft design Posted: 23 Sep 2014 05:59 AM PDT A computer model that accurately predicts how composite materials behave when damaged will make it easier to design lighter, more fuel-efficient aircraft. |
| Various possibilities for controlling light in terahertz frequency range Posted: 23 Sep 2014 05:59 AM PDT Scientists have proposed various devices capable of redirecting electromagnetic waves with efficiency levels close to 100%. Metamaterials are artificial materials with properties that go beyond those of natural occurring materials. |
| Graphene: When a doughnut becomes an apple Posted: 23 Sep 2014 05:59 AM PDT In experiments using the wonder material graphene, researchers have been able to demonstrate a phenomenon predicted by a Russian physicist more than 50 years ago. They analyzed a layer structure that experts believe may hold great promise. |
