03/27/2018  Researchers discover that nanometer-thick tin selenide crafted in thin films of connected 'nanoflakes' shows promise for thermoelectric energy conversion.

03/27/2018  The installation of Veeco's GEN10 MBE System last month at Silanna Semiconductor PTY Ltd. in Australia marks this significant company milestone.

03/26/2018  New application of data analysis, visualization techniques achieves better representation of multidimensional materials data; Work is part of Lehigh University's initiative to accelerate understanding of materials through improved human-data interaction

03/22/2018  Working up a sweat from carrying a heavy load? That is when the textile works at its best. Swedish researchers have developed a fabric that converts kinetic energy into electric power. The greater the load applied to the textile and the wetter it becomes the more electricity it generates.

03/22/2018  Magnolia Optical Technology, Inc. announced that it is working with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) under the Phase II SBIR Program for Development of High-Performance Thin-Film Solar Cells for Portable Power Applications.

03/21/2018  If scientists are going to deliver on the promise of implantable artificial organs or clothing that dries itself, they'll first need to solve the problem of inflexible batteries that run out of juice too quickly. Today, researchers report that they've developed a new material by weaving two polymers together in a way that increases charge storage capacity.

03/19/2018  Some novel materials that sound too good to be true turn out to be true and good. An emergent class of semiconductors, which could affordably light up our future with nuanced colors emanating from lasers, lamps, and even window glass, could be the latest example.

03/16/2018  Browse this slideshow for a look at this year's speakers, keynotes, panel discussions, and special guests.

03/16/2018  Controlling nano surface roughness of porous silicon.

03/15/2018  Javier Vela of Iowa State University and the Ames Laboratory has worked with two of his graduate students to synthesize a new material for semiconductors. The chemists think the material will work well in solar cells, but without the toxicity, scarcity or costs of other semiconductors. They report their discovery in a paper recently published online by the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

03/14/2018  The Silicon Integration Initiative's (Si2) Compact Model Coalition (CMC) has approved two integrated circuit design simulation standards that target the fast-growing global market for gallium nitride semiconductors.

03/12/2018  Scientists at Rice University and the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, have discovered a method to make atomically flat gallium that shows promise for nanoscale electronics.
