Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Plastics turn into a metal
Researchers from the University of Tokyo have developed two-dimensional hole gas in solution-processed organic semiconductors, where an apparent insulator-metal transition has been experimentally observed for the first time. These results have just been published in Nature Materials.
Pressure engineered Antimonite for better semiconductors
Antimonite has potential applications for solar energy, but how its layered structure changes under pressure is incompletely understood. Here diamond anvil cell experiments supported by first principles calculations offer a structural explanation for experimentally observed phase transitions.
