Researchers from China and the U.S. have jointly developed the world's first functional semiconductor made from graphene, paving the way for smaller, faster and more efficient electronic products.Semiconductors are materials that conduct electricity under certain conditions, which are the basic components of electronic devices.They "are essential to allow all computers to function," Sarah Haigh...
A team of researchers at Tianjin University (TJU) in north China, headed by Prof. Kui Jiao, has successfully developed a proton exchange membrane fuel cell with ultra-high power density, surpassing the performance of its mainstream counterparts by over 80 percent. The paper on the work was published in the international energy research journal Joule.In response to global climate change and the ...
TIANJIN, Jan. 8 (Xinhua) -- A collaborative team of Chinese and U.S. scientists have created a viable semiconductor with an on-off switch made of graphene, a carbon material far superior to silicon in terms of its electronic potential.Graphene, a two-dimensional material made up of just a single layer of carbon atoms, is currently considered to be the most promising electronic material in this ...
Editor's Note: Recently, Prof. Hu Xiaolong’s group from the School of Precision Instrument and Optoelectronic Engineering collaborated with Prof. Yang Jingyu’s group at the School of Electrical and Information Engineering and demonstrated a non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging system that allows people to see objects hidden behind obstacles. They introduced a superconducting nanowire single-pho...
