Photoemission-Based Microelectronics Are Semiconductor-Free
LA JOLLA, Calif., Nov. 11, 2016 — A semiconductor-free, optically-controlled microelectronic device fabricated using metamaterials has shown a significant increase in conductivity when activated by low voltage and a low power laser. The discovery may facilitate the development of microscale electronic devices that are faster and capable of handling more power, and could also lead to more efficient solar panels. The device consists of a metasurface on top of a silicon wafer, with a layer of silicon dioxide in between. The
Solar Imaging Tool Enables Better Understanding of Sun’s Atmosphere
GREENBELT, Md., Oct. 24, 2016 — The ability to track a particular kind of solar wave as it sweeps upward from the sun's surface through its atmosphere is adding to astrophysics’ understanding of how solar material travels throughout the sun. Though scientists have long...
