Two novel techniques, atomic-resolution real-time video and conical carbon nanotube confinement, allow researchers to view never-before-seen details about crystal formation.
Researchers discuss the top-down and bottom-up strategies for the synthesis of graphene quantum dots. The respective advantages and disadvantages of these methods are summarized.
Scientists combine scanning tunneling microscopy with ultrafast spectroscopy to image the motion of electrons with unprecedented resolution, which may lead to advances in semiconductors and optoelectronics.
Researchers have found a way to grow a single crystalline layer of alpha-aluminum gallium oxide that has the widest energy bandgap to date - a discovery that clears the way for new semiconductors that will handle higher voltages, higher power densities and higher frequencies than previously seen.
Researchers have developed an electrochromic hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks film with long cycle life, facile modification, easy recycling and regeneration prepared via electrophoretic deposition rapidly and facile.
