Nanodiamonds Doped with Silicon Could be Useful for Cell and Tissue Imaging

Researchers are very enthusiastic about diamonds—not the kinds that decorate jewelry, but the microscopic type that is below the thickness of a strand of human hair. These so-called “nanodiamonds” are nearly completely formed of carbon.

New Method Enables Creation of p-n Junctions in Single-Crystalline Nanowires

A p-n junction configuration is created by doping a semiconductor crystal with p-type dopants in one region and with n-type dopants in another region. p-n junctions are the basic building blocks of solar cells, light emitting diodes, and other semiconductor transistors.
