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

Schematic of a semiconductor’s energy band structure. Credit: Ilamaran Sivarajah . The lowest energy level on the conduction band will be quickly filled by electrons produced with higher energy than ...

Researchers have demonstrated that by using a semiconductor with flexible bonds, the material can be molded into various ...

In this conventional strategy, energy band gap becomes narrower by using heavier elements: consequently, this strategy has led to the development of direct transition semiconductors composed of ...
