In an advancement for next-generation electronics, researchers from the International Center for Quantum Materials at Peking University in collaboration with Renmin University of China have ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) materials are composed of strongly bonded layers of molecules with weak bonding between the layers. Layered van der Waals heterostructures are ...

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, materials that can conduct electricity and are only a few atoms thick, are promising alternatives to the conventional silicon-based semiconductors currently used ...

The quality of the graphene produced in the world today is rather poor and not optimally suited for most applications. This is possibly the main reason for the slow development of wider-scale ...

With the incessant down-scaling of electronics, traditional semiconductors like Si are encountered with insurmountable hurdles to maintain performance increase without bringing about additional issues ...
