Researchers at the University of Notre Dame have shown that it is possible to efficiently manipulate terahertz (THz) electromagnetic waves with atomically thin graphene layers. This achievement, which was recently published in Nature Communications, sets the stage for development of compact, efficient and cost-effective devices and systems operating in the THz band. More NDnano PAPER EXAMINES NANOTECHNOLOGY RELATED SAFETY AND ETHICS PROBLEM. A recent paper by Kathleen Eggleson, a research scientist in the Center for Nano Science and Technology at the University of Notre Dame, provides an example of a nanotechnology-related safety and ethics problem that is unfolding right now. More MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT TRANSISTORS THROUGH QUANTUM TUNNELING. Researchers at the University of Notre Dame and Pennsylvania State University have announced breakthroughs in the development of tunneling field effect transistors (TFETs), a semiconductor technology that takes advantage of the quirky behavior of electrons at the quantum level. More TEAM OF PHYSICISTS FINDS NEW PATH TOWARD INCREASING SEMICONDUCTOR FUNCTIONALITY. Margaret Dobrowolska, professor of physics at the University of Notre Dame, has led a team of collaborators from Notre Dame, the University of British Columbia and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in an effort that has succeeded in identifying the mechanisms responsible for ferromagnetism in the semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As.
