Excited about excitons? You should be. As charge neutral and thus efficient data transmitters, these quasiparticles could revolutionise electronics - but only if they can move. Now, for the first time ...

Science, founded by Thomas A. Edison in 1880 and published by AAAS, today ranks as the world's largest circulation general science journal. Published 51 times a year, Science is renowned for its ...

Gapless semiconductors Gapless semiconductors are a very new class of solids in which the conduction and valence bands meet at the Fermi level. As a result of this structure, the threshold energy ...

An international research team has developed a new intermediate band solar cell (IBSC) design that includes a quantum ratchet (QR) semiconductor nanostructure. This new element reportedly enables ...

A long-standing controversy regarding the semiconductor gallium manganese arsenide, one of the most promising materials for spintronic technology, looks to have been resolved. Researchers with the ...

Quantum Dot (QD) is a nanometer-sized semiconductor nanocrystal that has unique optical properties such as the ability to emit light in the range of optical frequencies depending on its size. QDs have ...

A research team led by Prof. Li Xingxing and academician Yang Jinlong from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has developed two-dimensional (2D) chiral metal-organic frameworks as ...
