A rule-breaking, colorful silicone that could conduct electricity. Previously only thought to be insulating, a shift in the angle between silicon and oxygen atoms creates a highway for an electrical ...

Unlike conductors such as copper, which allow electricity to flow freely, or insulators such as rubber, which block ...

A joint research team that included members from Tohoku University has unveiled a new topological insulator (TI), a unique state of matter that differs from conventional metals, insulators, and ...

A group of scientists from Hanyang University has published a report reviewing and discussing the outlook of atomic layer deposition (ALD) based oxide semiconductor thin film transistors (TFTs). The ...

At the heart of the semiconductor industry are materials that exhibit conductivity between that of a conductor and an insulator, depending on conditions. Silicon, the most prevalent semiconductor ...

It might look like a roll of chicken wire, but this tiny cylinder of carbon atoms -- too small to see with the naked eye -- could one day be used for making electronic devices ranging from night ...
