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 ...

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 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 ...

Many modern electronic devices we use daily owe their existence to the process of semiconductor doping. Doped semiconductors are the result of careful modifications ...

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 ...
