15 h. ago Warm metalworking turns brittle semiconductors into flexible, high

Inorganic semiconductors form the backbone of modern electronics due to their excellent physical properties, including high carrier mobility, thermal stability, and well-defined energy band structures, which enable precise control over electrical conductivity. Unfortunately, their intrinsic brittleness has traditionally required the use of costly, complex processing methods like deposition and sputtering—which apply inorganic materials to rigid substrates and limit their suitability for flexible or wearable electronics.

Getting interrupted while at work can cause you to lose your ability to work quickly and effectively. A computer's central processing unit (CPU) core is no different. If the CPU core has to stop what it is working on each time a new task is assigned, the whole system can get bogged down and slow significantly.

2 w. ago Engineered metamaterial achieves both high strength and remarkable flexibility

In metamaterials design, the name of the game has long been "stronger is better." Metamaterials are synthetic materials with microscopic structures that give the overall material exceptional properties. A huge focus has been on designing metamaterials that are stronger and stiffer than their conventional counterparts. But there's a trade-off: The stiffer a material, the less flexible it is.
