An international research team reported the first realization of single-crystalline T-Nb2O5 thin films having two-dimensional (2D) vertical ionic transport channels, which results in a fast and ...

APL’s CHESS thin films nearly double refrigeration efficiency. The scalable materials could transform cooling and energy-harvesting technologies. Scientists at the Johns Hopkins (APL) in Laurel, ...

What are Thin-Film Transistors and How do They Operate? Thin-film transistors (TFTs) are a kind of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) made by covering an insulating substrate ...

Laser diodes used to illuminate telecom fiberoptic cables keep getting smaller and smaller. But they still generate heat that needs to be removed. For example, a low-power laser diode might generate ...

Researchers from Japan have discovered a unique Hall effect resulting from deflection of electrons due to "in-plane ...

Controlling environmental gas pollution has become critically important as poor air quality has significant health and economic impacts on modern society. Novel gas sensing devices based on ...

Dr. Jung-Dae Kwon's research team at the Energy & Environmental Materials Research Division of the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) has successfully developed an amorphous silicon ...

This microscopic image shows a microgel film loaded with fluorescently tagged insulin that released after being heated to 31ÞC, six degrees below human body temperature. Research suggests that these ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan have come up with a clever way of turning darkness into night vision with a new OLED approach thinner than paper – all while using off-the-shelf parts and ...

An international team finds new single-crystalline oxide thin films with fast and dramatic changes in electrical properties via Li-ion intercalation through engineered ionic transport channels. These ...
