In the same way that a pillow filled with pebbles is harder to get smooth than one stuffed with sand, chip makers are finding it harder to make transistors behave predictably as they shrink. Here, the ...

Researchers built a four-atom-thick transistor combining an atomically thin semiconductor and molecular crystal. It uses charge localization and works at room temperature. (Nanowerk News) The ability ...

Electronic devices like computers and smartphones are continually getting thinner and smaller. One of the challenges to thinner and smaller devices in the future is reducing the size of the internal ...

Superconductors—materials that conduct electricity without resistance—are remarkable. They provide a macroscopic glimpse into quantum phenomena, which are usually observable only at the atomic level.
