Technique may speed development of molecular electronics
18 September, 2007
To produce materials for modern electronics, small amounts of impurities are introduced into silicon - a process called doping. It is these impurities that enable electricity to flow through the semiconductor and allow designers to control the electronic properties of the material.

Switchable two-colour light source on a silicon chip
06 September, 2007
Silicon is an important material for electronic chips and processors, but it has a big drawback: as an indirect semiconductor, it hardly emits any light.
Speed bumps less important than potholes for graphene
03 September, 2007
For electrical charges racing through an atom-thick sheet of graphene, occasional hills and valleys are no big deal, but the potholes - single-atom defects in the crystal - they're killers, according to researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Georgia Institute of Technology.
