Researchers have shown that a wide-bandgap semiconductor called gallium oxide can be engineered into nanometer-scale structures that allow electrons to move much faster within the crystal structure.

Just as the heartbeats of today's electronic devices depend on the ability to switch the flow of electricity in semiconductors on and off with lightning speed, the viability of the "spintronic" ...

For the first time, physicists have developed a technique that can peer deep beneath the surface of a material to identify the energies and momenta of electrons there. The team, at MIT and Princeton ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new semiconductor material that can operate at extreme temperatures, from 500°C and down to -271.1°C.

Experiments in which systems of interacting electrons are split apart reveal the signatures of a liquid-like state — even for as few as three electrons. Read the paper: Evidence of Coulomb liquid ...

Santa Barbara, Calif.--Umesh Mishra, professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB), has teamed up with his old mentor and dissertation ...

Scientists have observed electrons in a semiconductor on the brink of the metal-insulator transition for the first time. Caught in the act, the electrons formed complex patterns resembling those seen ...
