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

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

Revise conductors, semiconductors, insulators and p-n junctions for your Higher physics exam with Bitesize Scotland interactive ... giving electrons enough energy to enter the conduction band ...

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.
