What Is A Single Electron Transistor? A single electron transistor (SET) is a transistor that operates on the principles of quantum mechanics and utilises the behaviour of single electrons. It differs ...

Fig. 1. The dielectric response models for conventional dielectric materials and for metamaterials. For conventional dielectric materials, there are three types of polarization models: Drude model for ...

Researchers from Yokohama National University have developed a method to study how titanium's electron orientation and behavior influence its physical properties. Their findings, published in ...

A light pulse redirects electrons in an ultrathin layered material, creating a stable new state without heat or damage and suggesting a low-energy route to faster electronics. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

Scientists create a biohybrid by combining E. coli with a metal-organic framework, enabling charge storage through microbial electron transfer. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Harnessing biological systems for ...

Porphyrin complexes are renowned for their remarkable ability to mediate electron transfer processes, a feature that underpins critical functions in biological systems and offers promising ...

A ‘hole’ arises due to a missing electron in the valence band, which normally participates in covalent bonding between atoms. The absence of an electron creates a local absence of a negative charge, ...
