Pennsylvania State University researchers have devised a technique for embedding an electronic junction directly into optical fiber, which potentially paves the way for more streamlined optical ...

When stacked in five layers in a rhombohedral pattern, graphene takes on a rare “multiferroic” state, exhibiting both unconventional magnetism and an exotic electronic behavior known as ...

It seems there’s no end to surprises from everybody’s favorite wonder material, graphene. MIT physicists have now discovered yet another brand new electronic state hiding in this overachieving little ...

Combining an atomically thin graphene and a boron nitride layer at a slightly rotated angle changes their electrical properties. Physicists have now shown for the first time the combination with a ...

Micron Technology recently unveiled 176-layer, triple-level-cell (TLC), 3D NAND flash memory with a 30% smaller die size that employs a new replacement-gate (RG) NAND technology. The chips offer a 35% ...

A new tool developed by researchers at the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) can help reveal the origin of electronic states in designed materials—a step toward harnessing the materials ...

Multi-layered printed circuit boards (PCBs) are typically preferred because they offer high signal intensity. Of all the multi-layered types, the 2-layer PCB is the most common, as it can accommodate ...

A precise synthesis tunes platinum skin thickness on PtCu nanospheres and shows two atomic layers give the best oxygen ...

(Nanowerk News) Human skin is amazing. It senses temperature, pressure, and texture. It’s able to stretch and spring back, time and again. And it provides a barrier between the body and bad things in ...
