Thin layers of niobium-doped strontium titanate could play an important role in the development of oxide electronics. Oxide materials are undergoing a renewal of interest from scientists. Poor ...

Okay, I admit that the title sounds a bit like a contradiction in terms, but I am actually making sense—well, sort of. Most high-temperature superconductors are manufactured from layers of oxides, ...

Physicists used to think that superconductivity -- electricity flowing without resistance or loss -- was an all or nothing phenomenon. But new evidence suggests that, at least in copper oxide ...

Researchers from Japan have discovered a unique Hall effect resulting from deflection of electrons due to "in-plane magnetization" of ferromagnetic oxide films (SrRuO 3). Arising from the spontaneous ...

Wide-bandgap, metal-oxide thin-film transistors have been limited to low-power, n-type electronic applications because of the unipolar nature of these devices. Variations from the n-type field-effect ...

Researchers in China have developed a new chemical bath deposition technique to deposit tin oxide on a perovskite cell’s flexible substrate without requiring a strong acid. The resulting cell has ...

Solar cells and photocathodes made of copper oxide might in theory attain high efficiencies for solar energy conversion. In practice, however, large losses occur. Now researchers has been able to use ...

Exposure to radiation and extreme temperature swings are two of the many hazards that space probes face. Now, KAUST researchers have created the world's first flash memory device made of gallium oxide ...

Rice University researchers used a focused electron beam to pattern device functions with submicron precision directly into an ultrathin crystal. The approach produced traces narrower than the width ...

Researchers have successfully created electrically defined quantum dots in zinc oxide (ZnO) heterostructures, marking a significant milestone in the development of quantum technologies. Details of ...
