One-step, etch- free patterning enables clean, low-resistance graphene electrodes for transparent and flexible devices.

Films made of semiconductor nanocrystals — tiny crystals measuring just a few billionths of a meter across — are seen as a promising new material for a wide range of applications. Nanocrystals could ...

Lithium metal is known to possess a very high theoretical capacity of 3,842 mAh g −1 in lithium batteries. However, the use of metallic lithium leads to extensive dendritic growth that poses serious ...

Several vendors are rolling out next-generation inspection systems and software that locates problematic defects in chips caused by processes in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. Each defect ...

Defect-free pattern of 100 atomic qubits: a new platform for scalable quantum computing. Credit: Gerhard Birkl Neutral atoms trapped by light in arrays of dipole traps could be used as quantum bits ...

The voiding of the hole wall plating is one of the common defects of the metallization of the PCB manufacture printed circuit board, and it is also one of the items that easily cause the printed ...

A new process could enable better LED displays, solar cells and biosensors -- and foster basic physics research. A new process developed at MIT could enable better LED displays, solar cells and ...
