A novel approach to visualize the 3D structure of individual dopant atoms

Viewing atomic structures of dopant atoms in 3D relating to electrical activity in a semiconductor.

Project will provide reaction kinetics data for deterministic synthesis of metallic nanocrystals

Researchers have published the first part of what they expect to be a database showing the kinetics involved in producing colloidal metal nanocrystals - which are suitable for catalytic, biomedical, photonic and electronic applications - through an autocatalytic mechanism.

Driving soft molecular vehicles on a metallic surface

Soft molecules deposited on metallic surfaces were driven using a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) without mechanically pulling or pushing them, but by inducing inelastic excitations with the tunneling current.

Innovative transistors based on magnetically induced movement of ions

Just as magnets attract iron particles in sandpits, permanent magnetics only attract one type of ion in an electrochemical solution, constituting the basis of magnetically controlled electrochemical transistors.

Atomically thin perovskites boost for future Eelectronics

Researchers have developed the world's highest performance dielectric nanofilms using atomically thin perovskites. This technology may revolutionize the next-generation of electronics.
