A sophisticated analysis of experimental ARPES data confirmed that the electronic properties of each chain are truly one-dimensional, and calculations further predict an exciting phase transition. For ...

Materials scientists at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have found a way to create and control tiny "flaws" inside ...

Graphene and its molecular fragments, known as nanographenes, are key materials for next-generation organic electronics due ...

Twistronics is a field of study that emerged from the intersection of nanotechnology and materials science. It involves manipulating the electronic properties of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials ...

Plastic that conducts electricity might sound impossible. But there is a special class of materials known as “electronic polymers” that combines the flexibility of plastic with the functionality of ...

INTRODUCTION: Density functional theory (DFT) is a widely used method for calculating the electronic properties of materials. The method is based on the idea of approximating the many-electron wave ...

Electronics have been transforming from rigid, lifeless systems into adaptive, living platforms capable of seamlessly ...

Engineered polymers hold promise for use in next generation technologies such as light-harvesting devices and implantable electronics that interact with the nervous system—but creating polymers with ...

Strain can be introduced to materials through various methods, including mechanical stretching, bending, compressing, or by epitaxial growth on substrates with different lattice constants. Advanced ...

Conductors are materials that allow electric current to flow with minimal resistance and are essential for transmitting power and electrical signals in electronic devices. Most metals are good ...
