Nanostructure boosts stability of organic thin-film transistors Posted: 12 Jan 2018 12:12 PM PST A nanostructured gate dielectric may have addressed the most significant obstacle to expanding the use of organic semiconductors for thin-film transistors. The structure, composed of a fluoropolymer layer followed by a nanolaminate made from two metal oxide materials, serves as gate dielectric and protects the organic semiconductor - which had previously been vulnerable to damage from the ambient environment. |
Surprising discovery could lead to better batteries Posted: 12 Jan 2018 12:12 PM PST Scientists have observed the concentration of lithium inside individual nanoparticles reverse at a certain point, instead of constantly increasing. This discovery is a major step toward improving the battery life of consumer electronics. |
Quantum leap: Computational approach launches new paradigm in electronic structure theory Posted: 12 Jan 2018 10:29 AM PST A group of researchers specializing in quantum calculations has proposed a radically new computational approach to solving the complex many-particle Schrödinger equation, which holds the key to explaining the motion of electrons in atoms and molecules. |
Print a 200-million-year-old dinosaur 'fossil' in your own home Posted: 12 Jan 2018 10:28 AM PST The digital reconstruction of the skull of a 200-million-year-old South African dinosaur, Massospondylus, has made it possible for researchers to make 3-D prints and in this way facilitate research on other dinosaurs all over the world. |
