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 ...

Canada's Teck Resources is weighing options to expand production of germanium, a strategic metal key to chipmaking, and is currently talking with governments, including Canada and the United States, ...

A new material developed at Penn State defies a fundamental law of physics, opening doors to highly efficient solar cells.

Advanced Energy Industries, Inc., a global leader in highly engineered, precision power conversion, measurement and control solutions, announced a new silicon-controlled rectifier power controller ...

Sky News host Paul Murray discusses Energy Minister Chris Bowen’s energy bill lies. “Apparently energy retailers will be restricted to only increasing their prices once a year,” Mr Murray ...

Energy band diagrams for MOS devices are essential for understanding device performance and reliability. Introduction of high-k gate stacks with a silicon dioxide (SiO 2) interfacial layer requires an ...

Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has assured Black Country residents concerned about plans for battery farms near their homes that they have nothing to fear. Plans for a six-and-a-half acre battery ...

In addition to implementing the core functionality, a design goal for modern circuits is reduced energy consumption. When options for improving active state efficiency are eventually exhausted, the ...

From the perspectives of the energy band theory, the bond order-length-strength correlation, the local-bond-averaging approach, and the core–shell configuration for nanostructures, we have reconciled ...
