Before discussing the behaviour of long tubes it is worth discussing the low-bias conductance drop associated with a single defect (either mono-vacancy or di-vacancy) at zero temperature. A perfect ...

Graphene nanoribbons could potentially be used to create molecular wires with tailored conductance properties. However, understanding charge transport through a single molecule requires ...

Researchers announced today that they have built a nanowire that is 2.6 nanometers long, shows an unusual increase in conductance as the wire length increases, and has quasi-metallic properties. Its ...

Most materials have an inherent capacity to handle heat. Plastic, for instance, is typically a poor thermal conductor, whereas materials like marble move heat more efficiently. If you were to place ...

A carbon nanotube transistor turns invisible 940 nm light into both a signal and memory, advancing low-power neuromorphic ...

The Quantum Hall Effect was first observed in 1980 by Klaus von Klitzing, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1985. It occurs in two-dimensional electron gases found in ...
