Researchers at the Berkeley Lab Molecular Foundry report that they have developed rhenium disulfide, a semiconductor that functions electronically as if it were a 2D monolayer even as a 3D bulk material.
Work from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien and Energie (HZB), and University of Münster, both in Germany, shows how new phases in a nickel-based alloy form and evolve, providing clues to how high-performance alloys could be improved.
Researchers at Stanford University, Calif., developed a process to create flexible chips that can tolerate power fluctuations in much the same way as silicon circuitry.
