A research team led by Prof. YANG Liangbao from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences found that hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) could effectively block electron tunneling ...

Shrinking chips are hitting a wall. Traditional transistors, the workhorses of modern electronics, are struggling to switch faster without guzzling power. A rival design, the tunnel field-effect ...

Biosensors based on tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs) have emerged as a transformative technology in the detection of biomolecules, offering exceptional sensitivity and low power consumption. By ...

Researchers demonstrated a way to manipulate electrons in graphene using pulses of light that last less than one thousands trillionth (one quadrillionth) of a second. By leveraging a quantum effect ...

Quantum tunneling is a strange phenomenon where tiny particles manage to pass through barriers they technically don’t have the energy to overcome. It’s like a person walking toward a locked door, and ...

Researchers at the Institute of Solid State Physics at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), in collaboration with colleagues from TU Vienna and the University of Cambridge, have discovered how ...

A new technical paper titled “Multiscale Simulation and Machine Learning Facilitated Design of Two-Dimensional Nanomaterials-Based Tunnel Field-Effect Transistors: A Review” was published by ...
