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

Conductors have a band gap close to 0 eV (electronvolts), semiconductors range approximately between 1 and 9 eV, and anything above is usually considered an insulator.

A rule-breaking, colorful silicone that could conduct electricity. Previously only thought to be insulating, a shift in the ...

A Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) professor has developed a new, eco-friendly method of producing semiconductor materials.

Revise conductors, semiconductors, insulators and p-n junctions for your Higher physics exam with Bitesize Scotland interactive practice quizzes covering feedback and common errors.

At their core, semiconductors are materials that have properties between those of a conductor (like copper or aluminum) and an insulator (like rubber or glass).

Researchers have discovered a material that can switch between an insulator and a conductor freely, even at room temperature. The material, a compound of manganese and sulfide (MnS2), starts off ...

Researchers have unveiled the world’s first functional semiconductor made from graphene. The team says that their discovery could lead to the development of smaller and faster electronic devices.

Conductor, Semiconductor, Insulator On the periodic table, semiconductors (also known as metalloids) crop up along a diagonal line between conductors and insulators.
