When Two Semiconductors Are Better Than One

By combining two different semiconducting compounds, researchers have developed a catalyst that generates hydrogen fuel from nitrogen monoxide.

Generating Hydrogen Fuel From Water And Sunlight

Researchers have developed a hydrogen catalyst based on carbon nitride and black phosphorus instead of expensive precious metals.

Asia’s Rising Scientists: Keun Su Kim

Nanomaterials and their rather unique properties continue to fascinate (and baffle) researchers. This month's rising scientist Keun Su Kim talks about his work in the field of 2D atomic crystals.

Black Phosphorus Made More Tunable Than Graphene

A research team from South Korea develops black phosphorous, which has better semiconducting properties compared to graphene.

Black Phosphorus For Tunable Transistors

By tweaking the thickness of black phosphorus or its contact metal, researchers can modify its semiconducting properties without doping.
