Thin layers of niobium-doped strontium titanate could play an important role in the development of oxide electronics. Oxide materials are undergoing a renewal of interest from scientists. Poor ...

Highly selective contacts are the key to achieving high efficiency in thin-film solar cells. These contacts allow one type of carrier (holes) to conduct and block other types (electrons). Nickel oxide ...

PITTSBURGH--The task of transporting electrical charges between metal-oxide and water phases is critical in such technologies as catalysis, sensors, and electrochemistry. In a paper published in this ...

Solar cells and photocathodes made of copper oxide might in theory attain high efficiencies for solar energy conversion. In practice, however, large losses occur. Now researchers has been able to use ...

Researchers at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom have designed a cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cell with a buffer layer made of nickel oxide (NiO) deposited without oxygen, which ...

Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) said on the 21st that a research team led by Professor Kwon Hyuk-jun of the Department of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering ...

Researchers from the University of Cambridge, Purdue University, University College London, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and University at Buffalo used hafnium oxide to build a resistive switching ...

What Is A Semiconductor Gate? The gate electrode is a thin film of a conductive material deposited on top of an insulator layer in a transistor. The gate sits above a channel formed in the main body ...

Classic computers use binary values (0/1) to perform. By contrast, our brain cells can use more values to operate, making them more energy-efficient than computers. This is why scientists are ...
