Double layer of graphene helps to control spin currents

“New type of transistor one step closer Electrons have a negative charge, but they also behave like tiny magnets. This property of electrons, called spin, can be used to transport or store information in electronic circuits. Scientists are looking for …

Energy Flow in the Nano Range

“It is crucial for photovoltaics and other technical applications, how efficiently energy spreads in a small volume. With new methods, the path of energy in the nanometer range can now be followed precisely. Plants and bacteria lead the way: They …

Engineers Create Fabrication Method to Improve Solar Energy Technology

“Imagine a child playing with a magnifying glass – focusing the sunlight down into a single, heated ring of light. That light is the basis of solar energy. A team of researchers led by Dr. Christi Madsen, professor in the Department …

Excitons will shape the future of electronic devices

“Excitons are quasiparticles made from the excited state of electrons and – according to research being carried out EPFL – have the potential to boost the energy efficiency of our everyday devices. It’s a whole new way of thinking about electronics …

Graphene substrate improves the conductivity of carbon nanotube network

“Scientists at Aalto University, Finland, and the University of Vienna, Austria, have combined graphene and single-walled carbon nanotubes into a transparent hybrid material with conductivity higher than either component exhibits separately Transparent conductive films (TCFs) have many applications in touch …

Intel Introduces Tremont Microarchitecture

“Today at the Linley Fall Processor Conference in Santa Clara, Calif., Intel revealed the first architectural details related to Tremont. Intel’s newest and most advanced low-power x86 CPU architecture, Tremont offers a significant performance boost over prior generations. “Tremont …
