Bipolar doping

“New approach facilitates the control of reversible conductivity in semiconductors The semiconductor gallium oxide is thought to be a promising candidate for potential use in power electronics. So far, however, a number of obstacles have stood in its path, especially …

Dynamic, yet inertial – and definitely futuristic

“Researchers conduct experiments to demonstrate inertial motion in magnetic materials In the journal Nature Physics (DOI: 10.1038/s41567-020-01040-y), an international team of scientists from Germany, Italy, Sweden, and France report on their experimental observation of an inertial effect of …

Single photons from a silicon chip

“Quantum technology holds great promise: Just a few years from now, quantum computers are expected to revolutionize database searches, AI systems, and computational simulations. Today already, quantum cryptography can guarantee absolutely secure data transfer, albeit with limitations. The greatest possible …

A topography of extremes

“On the track of unconventional superconductivity, researchers are charting unknown territory An international team of scientists from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids, and colleagues from the USA and Switzerland have successfully combined …

Nanoelectronics learn the same way as the human brain

“Researchers at TU Dresden and HZDR develop the first neurotransistor Especially activities in the field of artificial intelligence, like teaching robots to walk or precise automatic image recognition, demand ever more powerful, yet at the same time more economical computer …

Seven at one pulse - New material acts as an efficient frequency multiplier

“Higher frequencies mean faster data transfer and more powerful processors – the formula that has been driving the IT industry for years. Technically, however, it is anything but easy to keep increasing clock rates and radio frequencies. New materials could solve …

Peppered with gold

“Terahertz waves are becoming ever more important in science and technology. They enable us to unravel the properties of future materials, test the quality of automotive paint and screen envelopes. But generating these waves is still a challenge. A team …

Hermetically sealed semi-conductors

“New encapsulation technique protects electronic properties of sensitive materials Tomorrow’s electronics are getting ever smaller. Researchers are thus searching for tiny components that function reliably in increasingly narrow configurations. Promising elements include the chemical compounds indium selenide (InSe) and …

A laser for penetrating waves

“Research team develops a new principle to generate terahertz radiation The “Landau-level laser” is an exciting concept for an unusual radiation source. It has the potential to efficiently generate so-called terahertz waves, which can be used to penetrate materials as …

Iron-Rich Lamellae in the Semiconductor

“HZDR researchers produce unusual crystal structure There is often a pronounced symmetry when you look at the lattice of crystals: it doesn’t matter where you look – the atoms are uniformly arranged in every direction. This behavior was also to …
