A carbon-based material developed by researchers at UCSB can potentially advance the design of more powerful and versatile electronic components.

For decades, field-effect transistors enabled by silicon-based semiconductors have powered the electronics revolution. But in recent years, manufacturers have come up against hard physical limits ...

A new material holds promise for the next generation of organic electronics

New Law of Physics Could Help Advance Wide Range of Robotic Technologies Written by AZoRoboticsApr 30 2021 Despite the massive use of robotic devices right from assembly lines to medicine, engineers have a tough time accounting for the friction arising when those robots hold on to objects—especially in wet conditions. Image Credit: North Carolina State University Scientists have found out a new law of physics responsible for this kind of friction, which must help the discovery of an extensive...
