Honey-like heat flow: A new heat transport regime discovered in ultrathin semiconductors

Honey-like heat flow: A new heat transport regime discovered in ultrathin semiconductors

Controlling heat flow is a major challenge for many technologies. In electronic and photonic devices, for example, heat dissipation can limit the performance and efficiency, as well as their potential for further miniaturisation. At the same time, two-dimensional (2D) materials, which are made of layers just a few atoms thick, have emerged as a promising platform […]

US Semiconductor Tariffs: India Faces Limited Immediate Impact

US Semiconductor Tariffs: India Faces Limited Immediate Impact

The U.S. decision to impose tariffs on semiconductors is unlikely to significantly impact India in the short term, as the country is not a major chip exporter to the U.S., industry experts said Thursday. With India already imposing zero import duties on semiconductors, the country faces no immediate trade retaliation concerns, said Ashok Chandak, president […]

Using chirality for faster, smaller, and more efficient data storage devices

Using chirality for faster, smaller, and more efficient data storage devices

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) are pursuing a completely new and unconventional strategy to improve the way data can be processed and – in particular – stored. The team members, based in Mainz and Jerusalem, have come up with the idea of bringing together two different forms of chirality to develop new data […]
