Scientists confirmed that bilayer graphene can produce better results working as a semiconductor than silicon or gallium arsenide when the materials are used for hosting quantum bits in quantum information processing. At Forschungszentrum Jülich’s Helmholtz Nano Facility, scientists created double quantum dots in bilayer graphene that exhibited near perfect electron-hole symmetry. Their efforts are paving […]
The semiconductor industry could be worth $1 trillion by 2030, growing from $600 billion today – and there will be an acute shortage of talent to fill jobs as the sector grows. The post Education Costs, Lack of Engineering Interest Hurting Semiconductor Industry appeared first on HPCwire.
At the MIT.nano facility, researchers demonstrated a newly developed low-temperature process for growing 2D transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials right on an 8-inch wafer. Their successful integration of a 2D material on a silicon wafer can lead to the development of more powerful computer chips potentially benefiting commercial markets. The post MIT Researchers Successfully Integrate […]
In a new study, scientists have observed long-lived excitons in a topological material, opening intriguing new research directions for optoelectronics and quantum computing. Excitons are charge-neutral quasiparticles created when light is absorbed by a semiconductor. Consisting of an excited electron coupled to a lower-energy electron vacancy or hole, an exciton is typically short-lived, surviving only […]
To understand Earth’s changing climate, scientists often turn to science-based computer simulations. Researchers strive to make these Earth system models as accurate as possible. Factors such as wind currents, air quality, and weather patterns all play a role. But current modeling has often overlooked one important activity: agriculture. The post Modeling Agriculture Matters for Carbon […]
Accurate and fast calculation of heat flow (heat transport) due to fluctuations and turbulence in plasmas is an important issue in elucidating the physical mechanisms of fusion reactors and in predicting and controlling their performance. The post Researchers Utilize Supercomputer to Develop a High-precision Mathematical Model to Predict Plasma Flows appeared first on HPCwire.
Two new Department of Energy-sponsored telescopes, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, will map cosmic structure in unprecedented detail. At Argonne and Lawrence Berkeley national laboratories, teams have developed a pair of the world’s most powerful cosmological simulation codes and are ready to translate the telescopes’ tsunami of observational […]
