Beyond Silicon's Elemental Logic

Almost since the first silicon MOSFET was invented, engineers have sought to construct versions using gallium arsenide or other III-V semiconductors, which…

Molecular Cubes in the Sunlight

Hydrogen will be one of the most important fuels of the future. It would be ideal to obtain hydrogen by splitting water instead of from petroleum. However, the…

Researcher Closes in On Ethanol Breakthrough that Reduces Need to Use Corn to Make Ethanol

The production of biofuels from basic plant material, rather than corn and other crops, would address concerns that making corn-based ethanol is pushing up…

Scientists Work to Convert Sunlight to Cheaper Energy

Scientists work to convert sunlight to cheaper electricity at South Dakota State University. Research scientists are working with new materials that can make…

Toward Plastic Spin Transistors and Organic LEDs

The study also suggests it will be more difficult than thought to make highly efficient light-emitting diodes (LEDs) using organic materials. The findings hint…

Clemson scientists put a (nano) spring in their step

A team of Clemson University researchers, led by Apparao Rao, professor of physics, has invented a way to make beds of tiny, shock-absorbing carbon springs…
