University of Liverpool researchers have discovered a way to host some of the most significant properties of graphene in a ...

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 variety of electronic ...

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 ...

Plastic that conducts electricity might sound impossible. But there is a special class of materials known as “electronic polymers” that combines the flexibility of plastic with the functionality of ...

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 ...

Engineered polymers hold promise for use in next generation technologies such as light-harvesting devices and implantable electronics that interact with the nervous system—but creating polymers with ...

Exciting electronic characteristics emerge when scientists stack 2D materials on top of each other and give the top layer a ...

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 ...

Engineered polymers hold promise for use in next generation technologies such as light-harvesting devices and implantable electronics that interact with the nervous system – but creating polymers with ...

Strain can be introduced to materials through various methods, including mechanical stretching, bending, compressing, or by epitaxial growth on substrates with different lattice constants. Advanced ...
