04/20/2018  Physicists at the University of Warwick have published new research in the journal Science April 19, 2018, (via the Journal's First Release pages) that could literally squeeze more power out of solar cells by physically deforming each of the crystals in the semiconductors used by photovoltaic cells.

04/18/2018  YNU and NTT researchers observed petahertz electron oscillation using chromium doped sapphire solid-state material.

04/17/2018  A clever combination of novel technologies enables us to study promising materials for the electronics of tomorrow. Using short laser pulses, a research team led by Misha Ivanov of the Max Born Institute in Berlin together with scientists from the Russian Quantum Center in Moscow have now shed light on the extremely rapid processes taking place within novel materials.

04/17/2018  Polymer carpets based on graphene could make any fabrics generate current.

04/13/2018  NUST MISIS scientists have finally found out why a material that could potentially become the basis for ultra-fast memory in new computers is formed. Professor Petr Karpov and Serguei Brazovskii, both researchers at NUST MISIS, have managed to develop a theory which explains the mechanism of the latent state formation in layered tantalum disulfide, one of the most promising materials for modern microelectronics.

04/12/2018  Cree, Inc. announces that it signed a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing patent license agreement with Nexperia BV, a Dutch company.

04/12/2018  While the bottom-up method provides a route to precise edge control, and the lithographic method can afford GNRs with precise placement, the unzipping method has the advantage of mass-production on a large scale.

04/10/2018  Indium Corporation, one of more than 3,000 ON Semiconductor production suppliers, was selected for its commitment to ensuring high quality and supply continuity in an evolving semiconductor market.

04/10/2018  Researchers at Japan's National Institute for Materials Science developed a hydrogenated diamond circuit operational at 300 degrees Celsius.

04/10/2018  Veeco Instruments Inc. today announced that ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ON) has ordered its Propel High-volume Manufacturing (HVM) Gallium Nitride (GaN) Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) system.

04/06/2018  Although many months past due, Congress on March 23 finalized the federal spending for the remainder of fiscal year (FY) 2018, only hours before a what would have been the third government shutdown of the year.

04/03/2018  Integrated light emitters for optical communications.

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.
