At the Edge of Graphene-Based Electronics

“A pressing quest in the field of nanoelectronics is the search for a material that could replace silicon. Graphene has seemed promising for decades. But its potential faltered along the way, due to damaging processing methods and the lack of …

ATLAS moves into top gear for Run 3

“In their first Run 3 results, the ATLAS collaboration measured two Standard Model processes: the production of Z bosons and top-quark pairs After over three years of upgrade and maintenance work, the Large Hadron Collider began its third period of …

Brightening dark excitons with photonic crystals

“Researchers are working to improve 2D semiconductors by better understanding dark excitons and how they could be applied to future technologies ranging from quantum computers to next-generation solar panels. Dr. Shoufeng Lan, assistant professor in the J. Mike Walker ’66 …

C & GUI Programming 2nd Edition

“Freshly updated for GTK3, the 2nd edition of An Introduction to C & GUI Programming will teach you all you need to know to write simple programs in C and start creating GUIs, even if you’re an absolute beginner. The …

CityU scientists discover a novel photophysical mechanism that has achieved record-breaking efficiency for organic photovoltaics

“Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are a promising, economical, next-generation solar cell technology for scalable clean energy and wearable electronics. But the energy conversion loss due to the recombination of photogenerated charge carriers in OPVs has hindered further enhancement of their power …

Comet Impacts Could Bring Ingredients for Life to Europa’s Ocean

“Comet strikes on Jupiter’s moon Europa could help transport critical ingredients for life found on the moon’s surface to its hidden ocean of liquid water — even if the impacts don’t punch completely through the moon’s icy …

Designing better battery electrolytes

“Looking at the future of battery materials. Designing a battery is a three-part process. You need a positive electrode, you need a negative electrode, and — importantly — you need an electrolyte that works with both electrodes. An electrolyte is the battery …

Designing quantum materials with quantum computers

“Designing quantum materials with specific exotic quantum properties is one of the greatest challenges in quantum technologies and material science. Specifically, predicting the behavior of collective quantum systems pushes computational capabilities to their limit, and predicting correlated quantum materials is …

DIY Turntable Rotating Platform

“Hey guys how you doing So here’s something revolutionary: a DIY Turntable Rotating Platform created entirely from scratch utilizing a unique PCB and 3D-printed parts. Because it spins, it is revolutionary. Was this a dad joke, perhaps? Without getting …

Early Experiments With 3D Printed Light Pipes

“One of the problems with my F0 synth was its power indicator LED. It was so bright, you basically couldn’t look at it straight on without being blinded! There are a couple solutions to an overly bright LED, the …
