The electricity cables we have in our homes are made up of three smaller wires. These are normally made from copper, because it’s a good conductor, and covered with a plastic sheath to insulate ...

Researchers from Monash University, part of the FLEET Center, have revealed a generic approach towards intrinsic magnetic ...

Sometimes, the basic element silicon is also used in reference to semiconductors. Under normal conditions, silicon is actually a natural insulator. However, when subjected to special circumstances ...

On the periodic table, semiconductors (also known as metalloids) crop up along a diagonal line between conductors and insulators. Noble gases such as helium and neon are poor conductors of ...

A different qubit architecture could enable easier manufacturing of quantum computer building blocks without compromising ...

Purdue will receive over $5 million in grant funding for semiconductor research, split between three projects.

The Commerce Department has launched the National Semiconductor Technology Center’s Workforce Center of Excellence to fill ...

The new collaboration will support research and training to strengthen the nation’s leadership in semiconductor, or microchips, technology.

a semiconductor is a material that exhibits properties of both insulators and conductors (hence semi, meaning half or partial conductor). It is typically made of silicon, which conducts ...

The U.S. Commerce Department said on Tuesday it had finalized a $123 million grant for Polar Semiconductor to expand its ...

US President Biden and PM Modi discussed establishing a new semiconductor plant. The semiconductor industry comprises companies that design and manufacture semiconductors and devices such as ...
