In a warming world, coal can often seem the "bad guy." But we can do other things with coal besides burn it. A team at Ohio University used the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center's Bridges-2 system to carry out a series of simulations showing how coal might eventually be converted to valuable - and carbon-neutral - materials like graphite and carbon nanotubes.
Researchers at Rice University and the University of Texas at Austin observed that when it comes to packing charge-acceptor molecules on the surface of semiconducting nanocrystals, more is really not better.
As semiconductor devices become ever smaller, researchers are exploring two-dimensional (2D) materials for potential applications in transistors and optoelectronics. Controlling the flow of electricity and heat through these materials is key to their functionality, but first we need to understand the details of those behaviors at atomic scales.
As technologies keep advancing at exponential rates and demand for new devices rises accordingly, miniaturizing systems into chips has become increasingly important. Microelectronics has changed the way we manipulate electricity, enabling sophisticated electronic products that are now an essential part of our daily lives.
A team from the University of Minnesota showcased the effective utilization of hybrid molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) for growing strontium titanate (SrTiO3) without damaging the graphene substrate.
