To study the interactions between electrons in a material, physicists have come up with a number of tricks over the years. These interactions are interesting, among other things, because they lead ...

Semiconductors are at the heart of most electronics. We explain what semiconductors are, how they work, and just how tiny those transistors can get.

As few as five electrons in a semiconductor can exhibit collective behaviour, forming a “Coulomb liquid”, according to researchers in Europe. This extends the study of correlated systems to electron ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a method that makes it easier to study interactions between electrons in a material. Using a moiré material consisting of twisted atomic layers they ...

The first concerns the mobility of its “holes”, which are regions of positive charge left behind when electrons are excited from a semiconductor’s insulating (valence) band to its conduction band. In ...

Lattice Semiconductor Corporation is set to report Q4 '24 earnings on February 10, 2025, amid a challenging macroeconomic environment and a slower-than-expected recovery in the semiconductor market.

Apply a voltage in one direction and the holes and electrons flow away from this junction, expanding the non-conductive region and shutting down the current.
