An international team finds new single-crystalline oxide thin films with fast and dramatic changes in electrical properties via Li-ion intercalation through engineered ionic transport channels. These ...

What are Thin-Film Transistors and How do They Operate? Thin-film transistors (TFTs) are a kind of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) made by covering an insulating substrate ...

For example, a low-power laser diode might generate only 0.09 W of power. But the diode measures 300 200 μm, so it puts out about 150 Wcm2. To keep these and similarly small devices cool and ...

Researchers have systematically charted a superconducting dome in thin films of strontium-doped lanthanum nickelate, ...

Diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) represent an innovative passive sampling method that has transformed environmental monitoring by providing in situ, minimally invasive measurements of labile ...

Dr. Jung-Dae Kwon's research team at the Energy & Environmental Materials Research Division of the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) has successfully developed an amorphous silicon ...

EnerChip is a solid-state thin-film battery technology well suited for applications where backup power is needed to maintain the settings of microcontroller memories, real-time clocks, and SRAM during ...

The soaring demand for renewable energy requires affordable and efficient technologies that can harness clean energy sources and renewable materials, thus minimizing greenhouse gas emissions and ...

A thin sheet of nylon does not look like much on its own. But in lab tests, a film made by researchers at RMIT University kept generating electricity after being folded, stretched, and even run over ...

An international research team reported the first realization of single-crystalline T-Nb2O5 thin films having two-dimensional (2D) vertical ionic transport channels, which results in a fast and ...

Since the 1940s, scientists have been exploring the use of niobium oxide, specifically a form of niobium oxide known as T-Nb2O5, to create more efficient batteries. This unique material is known for ...
