Franco Cacialli talks to MaterialsViews about his research on supramolecular architectures, his recent book, and his coolest discovery.
Video abstract: Solution-Processed Organic Light-Emitting Transistors
Jung Hwa Seo and Gui Bazan describe solution-processed Organic Light-Emitting Transistors (OLETs).
Any Shape, Any Substrate Ferroelectric Materials
A new method of making ferroelectrics that uses a heated probe tip means they can be produced directly on virtually any substrate and in any shape.
Teaching a New Dog, Old Tricks: Inorganic Devices Mimicking Biological Synapses
Biological synaptic behaviour related to short- and long-term memory creation is mimicked by inorganic devices.
Graphene Logic Gates: Low Power, High Gain
Self-adaptive complementary-like architectures are adopted in graphene-based transistors as a means to create low power, high gain logic gates.
Book Review: Charge and Exciton Transport through Molecular Wires
New publication brings together theory and experimental results in molecular electronics – can we go beyond Moore’s law? Emanuele Orgiu & Paolo Samorì of ISIS tell us more
Prevent Nanograss Collapsing: Strengthening Nanostructures
One-dimensional nanostructures like nanowires, nanobelts, and nanotubes attract considerable interest. However, common techniques to separate the nanostructures from the template can cause the structures to collapse.
Small but Powerful: Thin-Film Transistors
Very small organic thin-film transistors with high operating frequencies have been produced by Japanese and German scientists.
Microelectromechanical Switch-On: Carbon Nanotube Switches
Korean researchers make a tiny switch from carbon nanotubes.
Optical Fiber Waveguides
ZnSe is deposited in silica pores to produce the first compound semiconductor optical fiber waveguides.
