Ballistic electrons are among the most fascinating phenomena in modern quantum materials. Unlike ordinary electrons, they do ...

In a metal like copper, however, the outer electrons swim around freely and are shared by all the atoms. That’s why ...

George W. Bush made hydrogen his baby back in the early 2000's, but this alternative fuel could still have its day in the sun ...

As artificial intelligence grows more powerful, so does its appetite for speed and energy. The quest for faster, smarter ...

Design transforms heat into electrical energy via thermionic electron emission.

A breakthrough in neuromorphic computing could lower the energy consumption of chips and accelerate progress toward artificial general intelligence (AGI). Researchers from the USC Viterbi School of En ...

Scientists have long sought to make semiconductors—vital components in computer chips and solar cells—that are also ...

Liquid metal embedded with dormant bacterial spores forms a living conductor that heals itself, resists oxidation, and boosts ...

Using state-of-the-art density functional theory (DFT) simulations, they showed that when a single layer of the semiconductor ...

Given this, the UK must recognise the value of PICs to further drive the realisation of deep tech innovation and equip industry to be future ready.

In any multi-die assembly, stacking two or more active dies results in thermal stress. Heat dissipated from a lower die faces ...
