Thanks to the work of a team of Stanford engineers, a new type of improved organic semiconductors could soon be used to develop better TV and computer screens, more advanced and efficient solar panels, as well as cell phones and other electronics that can be bent and twisted in all directions.

Changing the thermal and electrical conductivity of certain materials is definitely possible, say experts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who recently managed to demonstrate a method of doing just that. Their work provides a new approach to influencing the properties of materials.Causing these traits to... |

Since it was first discovered in 2004, the two-dimensional carbon compound graphene has been hailed as one of the most promising materials to have hit the market in years. Originally derived from 3D graphite, the material exhibits superior electron mobility, mechanical strength and thermal conductivity, which are all... |

Perfection does indeed come from flaws, as a new discovery in the fields of nanotechnology and energy conductivity indicates. Namely, a team of US experts managed to alter the internal structure of carbon nanotubes that typically behaved as insulators so that now it performs better than the traditionally-used silicon... |

Only one thing comes to my mind when talking about carbon nanotube electrical properties, conductive transparent polymer plastics, which pretty much have a wide range of applications, especially in the manufacturing process of solar cells. It seems that the conductivity of a carbon nanotube additive can be changed re... |

Electron correlation is a relatively new concept and it deals with mutual dependence between electrons, summarizing the effects of the repulsion forces acting in the spaces between electrons. It specifically handles the way this repulsion influences the spatial and dynamical motion of the electrons. The concept is ... |

A nanowire is a wire of dimensions the size of a nanometer (a billionth of a meter). Alternatively, nanowires can be defined as structures that have a lateral size constrained to tens of nanometers or less and an unconstrained longitudinal size. At these scales, quantum mechanical effects are important - hence such ... |

Olyaniline (PANI) is a conducting polymer of the semi-flexible rod polymer family, discovered in 1934 as anilin black, that can also exist naturally as part of a mixed copolymer with polyacetylene and polypyrrole in some melanins.A University of Texas at Austin researcher has modified this special plastic so that it... |
