The promising new material molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2) has an inherent issue that’s steeped in irony. The material’s greatest asset—its monolayer thickness—is also its biggest challenge. Monolayer ...

RV32-WUJI. a, Bottom, 24 WUJI chips produced on a 4-inch sapphire wafer. Top, zoomed-in optical microscope image showing a single die with an area of 6 mm × 6 mm, consisting of 5,900 MoS 2 transistors ...

A scientific team has identified previously undiscovered differences in grain boundaries. According to the paper, it is essential to understand the atomic structures of GBs in order to control and ...

Imagine a world where rooms are lit by their walls, clothes are smartphones and windows turn into video screens. That may seem like a bit of science fiction, but not for long. Researchers at MIT are ...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials describe a specific class of nanomaterials that are comprised of only one or two atoms thickness 1. Of one of the most popular 2D materials is graphene, which is a ...

Researchers used their “Campanile” nano-optical probe to make some surprising discoveries about molybdenum disulfide, a member of the “transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) semiconductor family ...

The technique yields a hybrid material consisting of silica particles tens of micrometers wide speckled with MoS 2 flakes. The material’s blend of photonic and semiconducting properties and high ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers of the Center for Photonics and Two-Dimensional Materials at MIPT, together with their colleagues from Spain, Great Britain, Sweden, and Singapore, including co-creator of ...

Hydrogen production through water splitting has been considered as a green, pure and high-efficient technique. As an important half-reaction involved, hydrogen evolution reaction is a complex ...

Engineers from the University of Illinois have used nanotechnology to model a new membrane that can filter salt from seawater at higher volumes than ever before. The membrane is made from a ...

Memristors are a new class of electrical circuits—and they could end the silicon era and change electronics forever. Since HP first developed a working prototype with a titanium dioxide film in 2008, ...
