For decades, researchers have tried to create semiconductor materials that can also act as superconductors — materials capable of carrying electric current without resistance. Semiconductors, which form the foundation of modern computer chips and solar cells, could operate far faster and more efficiently if they also possessed superconducting abilities. YetContinue Reading
Dr. Dong-Soo Han’s research team at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) Semiconductor Technology Research Center, in collaboration with the research teams of Prof. Jung-Il Hong at DGIST and Prof. Kyung-Hwan Kim at Yonsei University, has developed a device principle that can utilize “spin loss,” which was previouslyContinue Reading
Cruise stocks are under pressure Monday as a major hurricane rips through the Caribbean, with the Yucatán peninsula and its popular destinations of Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and Cozumel the next target.
