Silicon chip manufacturers like Intel and TSMC are constantly outdoing themselves to make ever smaller features, but they are getting closer to the physical limits of silicon. “We already have very, ...

In a paper published in Nature Materials, Wilson's lab group has reported on an innovative way to use a phenomenon referred to as frustration of long-range order in a material system to engineer ...

Cement-based materials provide a potential solution for mitigating climate change by trapping and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide as minerals, via a process known as carbonation. Despite extensive ...

EHSA allows for the entry of source use and waste generation by the Authorized User or Radiation Worker. This mechanism is meant to capture the dispensing of radioactive material from the original ...

Wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors are a class of materials that can offer a range of advantages over silicon. These materials can operate at higher voltages and higher temperatures, serving as ...
