IC researchers from Infineon Technologies (Munich, Germany) have achieved a breakthrough in carbon nanotube technology, allowing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to be grown at predefined locations on 6-in.

Silicon has been the material of choice for electronics for decades, but it’s beginning to bump up against efficiency limits. The next step could be carbon transistors and circuits, and now engineers ...

Like all metals, silver, copper, and gold are conductors. Electrons flow across them, carrying heat and electricity. While gold is a good conductor under any conditions, some materials have the ...

When used with appropriate conductors, metal-clad (MC) cable and electrical metallic tubing (EMT) have nearly identical uses but quite different working characteristics. Therefore, on any given job, ...

Flexible, bendable and rollable electronics remain somewhat of a sci-fi dream: making circuitry that continues to conduct electricity while undergoing deformation is actually quite hard. But now there ...

Transparent conductors combine two generally contradictory physical properties, but there are numerous applications where both functionalities are crucial. Previous searches focused on doping wide-gap ...

Carbyne, the sp 1-hybridized phase of carbon, is still a missing link in the family of carbon allotropes. While the bulk phases of carbyne remain elusive, the elementary constituents, that is, linear ...
