'White graphene' to the rescue

What researchers might call “white graphene” may be the perfect sidekick for the real thing as a new era unfolds in nanoscale electronics.But single-atom-thick…

Empa grows 'sea urchin'-shaped structures

Processes which lend materials new characteristics are generally complicated and therefore often rather difficult to reproduce. So surprise turns to…

Cheaper substrates made of oxide materials

“Rectifying diodes are the fundamental building blocks in electronics,” says Tuo-Hung Hou, describing the research. “Diodes made of oxide materials instead of…
