Scientists at the University of Warwick and the National Research Council of Canada say they have achieved the highest ...

A ‘hole’ arises due to a missing electron in the valence band, which normally participates in covalent bonding between atoms. The absence of an electron creates a local absence of a negative charge, ...

The quest for materials capable of combining semiconductor properties with superconductivity represents a major challenge for ...

A model system created by stacking a pair of monolayer semiconductors is giving physicists a simpler way to study confounding quantum behavior, from heavy fermions to exotic quantum phase transitions.

Power cube: Researchers claim that cubic boron arsenide is the best semiconducting material ever found, and perhaps even the best possible one. (Courtesy: Christine Daniloff/MIT) Cubic boron arsenide ...

Doping in semiconductors is adding a small amount of impurities into a very pure semiconductor material. It might sound strange to add impurities on purpose, but this is a critical to make ...
