Electronic devices are components for controlling the flow of electrical currents for the purpose of information processing and system control. Prominent examples include transistors and diodes. Electronic devices are usually small and can be grouped together into packages called integrated circuits. This miniaturization is central to the modern electronics boom.
By manipulating the glass transition of the electrolyte, nanometre-resolution electrochemical ion implantation doping can be achieved in various polymeric semiconductors.
To measure temperatures close to absolute zero, authors developed a kind of composite phase diamond (CPD) that can measure temperature at the millikelvin level, making it a promising candidate for next–generation cryogenic temperature sensors.
A molecular design strategy for reducing the vibration-induced non-radiative losses in emissive organic semiconductors is realized by decoupling excitons from high-frequency vibrations.
The micro-thermoelectric coolers face challenges in high-performance material preparation and high-density device integration. Here, the authors combine Bi2Te3-based film prepared by powder direct molding with micro-thermoelectric cooler integrated via phase-change batch transfer.
Magnetoelectric (ME) microelectromechanical and nanoelectromechanical systems (M/NEMS) are vital for addressing the challenges of the internet of things (IoT) networks in size, energy efficiency and communication. This Review delves into ME materials and M/NEMS for IoT applications, such as sensing and communication technologies.
Developing circuits for flexible and stretchable devices demands not only high performance but also reliable and predictable components, such as organic thin-film transistors. High-throughput characterization is required to build reliable structure–property relationships, which are critical for the commercialization of new materials.
By manipulating the glass transition of the electrolyte, nanometre-resolution electrochemical ion implantation doping can be achieved in various polymeric semiconductors.
A synthesis method for large-scale conjugated polymers as well as studies under operational conditions show that research on organic mixed ionic–electronic conductors continues to progress.
As the scale and application of artificial intelligence technologies continues to grow, addressing challenges related to the wider accessibility of the underlying technology becomes increasingly important.
