Most machines that grow atom-thin films top out around 2,000 Kelvin. That temperature ceiling locks researchers out of an ...

Controlled synthesis of metastable materials is a major focus in materials chemistry, with metastable thin films often synthesized through rapid condensation of vapor precursors. However, achieving ...

A novel method developed in Tokyo, Japan, allows a nitride crystal to grow, which can function as both an n- and p-type conductor. The material can replace cadmium-telluride (CdTe) in thin films, and ...

Modern wireless communication equipment relies on advanced radio frequency (RF) microelectromechanical devices. Wireless communication finds various applications such as mobile communication devices ...
