'Highly perfect': Meeting the challenge of making 2D semiconductor materials

Redwing Group

By Jamie Oberdick

Two-dimensional materials are vital for the type of semiconductors that will push the future of electronic devices and energy-efficient lighting, but they are a challenge to make. They must have very few defects, difficult given their very small, nano-level size.

A Semiconductor That Could Alleviate Computing's Climate Problem

Susan Trolier-McKinstry

While a lot of the focus on fighting climate change lands on things like gasoline vehicles and factory emissions, computers gobble up plenty of carbon-based energy on their own.
