Researchers synthesized a fluorinated electron-acceptor for use in organic semiconductors. The high electronegativity of the fluorine substituents enhanced the electron-accepting properties of the ...

A semiconductor is a material whose conductivity lies somewhere between that of a conductor and an insulator. This property allows semiconductors to serve as the base material for modern electronics ...

Researchers have demonstrated that by using a semiconductor with flexible bonds, the material can be moulded into various structures using nano containers, without altering its composition, the ...

Scientists have long sought to make semiconductors—vital components in computer chips and solar cells—that are also superconducting, thereby enhancing their speed and energy efficiency and enabling ...

The buzz about 2D materials replacing silicon appears to be premature. While 2D semiconductors have emerged as potential successors, it’s not clear when or even if that will happen. As Iuliana Radu, ...

Advanced semiconductor technology receives €2.2M funding through FP7; will be commercialized by UK's Centre for Integrated Photonics. Ipswich UK, August 9th 2010 --- A Europe-wide consortium has taken ...

In a study recently published in npj 2D Materials & Applications, researchers explored whether the mineral vermiculite can be processed into atomically thin nanosheets with both semiconducting ...

Osaka, Japan – Organic semiconductor materials have the potential to be used in innovative applications such as transparent and flexible devices, and their low cost makes their potential use ...
