A RIKEN study shows that squeezing the right amount of potassium ions between the atomic layers of molybdenum disulfide can turn it from a semiconductor into a metal, superconductor or insulator. The ...

Structure dictates function. Scientists are increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) to design the arrangement of ...

For the first time, a team at BESSY II has succeeded in demonstrating the one-dimensional electronic properties of a material through a highly refined experimental process. The samples consisted of ...

Twistronics is a field of study that emerged from the intersection of nanotechnology and materials science. It involves manipulating the electronic properties of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials ...

Scientists with the University of Chicago have made significant strides in imaging antiferroelectric materials, a class of materials with unique electrical properties that could open up potential ...

Researchers at Ritsumeikan University show that swapping counterions in orthogonally arranged π-electronic cations can tune ...

INTRODUCTION: Density functional theory (DFT) is a widely used method for calculating the electronic properties of materials. The method is based on the idea of approximating the many-electron wave ...

Conductors are materials that allow electric current to flow with minimal resistance and are essential for transmitting power and electrical signals in electronic devices. Most metals are good ...

The basic principle of magneto-ionic gating involves the use of an ionic liquid or gel electrolyte that is placed between a gate electrode and the target material. When a gate voltage is applied, ions ...

Seoul National University College of Engineering has announced that a joint research team led by Professor Hyobin Yoo from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, in collaboration with ...
