Microsoft scientists have created a quantum processor that taps into a rare state of matter that was first theorized in the 1930s, paving the way for a processor with a million qubits within years.

Tungsten disulfide nanotubes (WS2-NTs), first discovered in 1992, have long captured the attention of researchers for their potential applications in advanced technologies. These cylindrical ...

Nanowires are ultrafine wires or linear arrays of dots, formed by self-assembly. They can be made from a wide range of materials. Semiconductor nanowires made of silicon, gallium nitride and indium ...

Semiconductor nanowires, by definition ... yet short distances for carrier collection/transport from the semiconductor interface within the nanowire (that is, light absorption and charge transfer ...

Nanowires are known for their exceptional physical properties, which are largely influenced by their nanoscale dimensions. These properties include enhanced electrical, thermal, and optical behaviors ...

Rongrui He and Peidong Yang have reported giant uniaxial piezoresistance in p-type silicon nanowires that is almost two orders of magnitude larger than that found in bulk silicon 1. Here ...
