An unusual thermoelectric effect has been observed in the semiconductor tellurium by RIKEN physicists for the first time. This demonstration points to the potential of similar materials to be used in ...

A research team has discovered significant nonlinear Hall and wireless rectification effects at room temperature in elemental semiconductor tellurium (Te). Their research is published in Nature ...

Scientists have found a clever way to supercharge ultra-thin semiconductors by reshaping the space beneath them rather than altering the material itself. By placing a single-atom-thick layer of ...

Recently, the research team led by Prof. ZENG Changgan and Associate Researcher LI Lin from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have ...
