Beyond-silicon technology demands ultra-high-performance field-effect transistors (FETs). Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) provide an ideal material platform, but the device performances such as contact resistance, on/off ratio, and mobility are often limited by the presence of interfacial residues caused by transfer procedures.
In recent times, scientists have produced a wide range of smart materials known as “mechanoresponsive materials” (MRMs), which respond to mechanical stimuli through fluorescence, coloring, self-healing, and even self-strengthening.
Quantum materials are substances with special properties that can only be explained by quantum mechanics. One example is strontium titanate.
In the contemporary world, synthetic polymers abound—these are extended molecular structures meticulously crafted by scientists to serve a multitude of purposes.
Ternary organic solar cells (TOSCs) have recently had their material modified by researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), who have reached efficiencies similar to those of their conventional solar cell cousins.
