Graphene is a unique form of carbon, consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a neat honeycomb pattern. Recently, researchers at Florida State University discovered that twisting and layering graphene can change its ability…

Researchers at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in South Korea created an innovative dry transfer printing technique for flexible electronic devices. This method allows for the transfer of high-quality electronic materials without…

Logic gates represent the basic building blocks of computer processors. Conventional logic gates are electronic—they shuffle around electrons. Researchers are developing light-based optical logic gates to meet the data processing and…

A significant challenge for undersea exploration is powering underwater cameras. Researchers can tether it to their vessel or send a ship and diver to recharge its batteries. MIT researchers are overcoming the challenge, developing a…

A research group at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) recently investigated an active and smart Terahertz electro-optic modulator and published the results of their efforts in ACS…

Researchers used an ultra-fast electron diffraction (UED) camera that detects tiny atomic movements to observe, for the first time, a quantum electronic device in operation. The device is a custom-designed miniature switch made of vanadium…

The University of Texas at Dallas and Oklahoma State University developed a new terahertz imager microchip that enables devices to detect and create images through obstacles including fog, smoke, dust, and snow. They are working to enable…

STMicroelectronics unveiled a new super-junction STPOWER MDmesh K6 series that minimizes system-power losses for such lighting applications as those based on flyback topology including LED drivers, HID lamps, adapters and power supplies for…

Professor Konstantin Arutyunov of the HSE Tikhonov Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics and a team of Chinese researchers developed a graphene-based mechanical resonator. With this resonator, the coherent emission of sound energy…

Electronic components in many devices are based on micro-structured silicon carriers, which have almost reached their physical limits and smallest possible structure sizes. Two-dimensional materials such as graphene, an atomically thin…
