Researchers utilized a specialized robotic system to assemble large, atomically clean two-dimensional materials into stacks. The study focused on graphene heterostructures, which are atom-thin sheets composed of tiny hexagonal crystals that alter the properties of electrons in the graphene, giving the material unique characteristics beneficial for batteries and other electronics. The assembled materials achieved record-setting […]
Silicon transistors, essential for amplifying and switching signals in electronic devices from smartphones to automobiles, face a fundamental physical limit known as “Boltzmann tyranny,” which prevents them from operating below a certain voltage and hinders energy efficiency. This is particularly problematic with the rapid development of AI technologies that require faster computation. To overcome this […]
New materials designed by a University of Illinois Chicago graduate student may help scientists tackle the challenge of building superconductors that operate at normal temperatures and pressures. Superconductors, essential in applications like MRI machines and power transmission, currently require extremely low temperatures to function, limiting their potential. Scientists worldwide are seeking materials that exhibit superconductivity […]
