Controlling heat flow is a major challenge for next-generation electronics and photonic devices. Now, an international team led by ICN2, UAB, TU/e, and McGill has discovered a completely new heat transport regime in ultrathin 2D semiconductors.

The latest study on an electron-on-neon qubit, invented at Argonne, shows its strong potential to scale quantum information processing.

Relaxor ferroelectrics have been used in electronics and sensors for decades, but the source of their unique properties was a mystery until now.

2D materials are widely seen as a promising path toward better computer chips. Researchers at TU Wien now show: some of these materials are unsuitable due to an underestimated effect. But there are alternatives

Findings reveal how molecular defects can enhance light conversion efficiency

A Würzburg research team has achieved the world’s first experimental confirmation of the Kardar–Parisi–Zhang (KPZ) universality class in two-dimensional quantum systems. Using polaritons in a precisely engineered GaAs semiconductor cooled to near absolute zero, they tracked the nonlinear, random growth process in both space and time—proving the famous 1986 growth equation holds in 2D.

Air cavities help atom-thin semiconductors shine brighter

A monolayer of the transition metal dichalcogenide alloy MoWSe₂ with K⁺ and K⁻ valleys. The purple lines indicate the external magnetic field, the application of which leads to the splitting of exciton state energies as a result of the Zeeman effect. This phenomenon is illustrated as different separations between the valence band and the conduction band in the two valleys. @ Grzegorz Krasucki, Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw Scientists from the Faculty of Physics at

The Elmsford, New York-based company revealed partnerships with Kinpo Group, the Industrial Technology Research Institu

A team led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and George Washington University have confirmed that atoms in semiconductors will arrange themselves in distinctive localized patterns that change the material’s electronic behavior. The research, published today in Science, may provide a foundation for designing specialized semiconductors for quantum-computing and optoelectronic devices for defense technologies. On the atomic scale, semiconductors are crystal

Self-driving cars which eliminate traffic jams, getting a healthcare diagnosis instantly without leaving your home, or feeling the touch of loved ones based across the continent may sound like the stuff of science fiction. But new research, led by the University of Bristol and published in the journal Nature Electronics, could make all this and more a step closer to reality thanks to a radical breakthrough in semiconductor technology.

This research is the result of international collaboration involving scientists from the USA, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic. By combining advanced material synthesis, highly sensitive spectroscopy, and complex many-body theory, the team explored the structure of luminous quasiparticles in novel semiconductor magnets. These findings are significant not only for deepening our understanding of magnetic materials but also for driving future technologica
