Static and dynamic magnetic solitons play a critical role in applied nanomagnetism. Magnetic droplets, a type of non-topological dissipative soliton, can be nucleated and sustained in nanocontact spin ...

Heterogeneous nucleation at solid-liquid interfaces in liquid metals is a complex yet fundamentally important phenomenon that governs the initial stages of crystallisation in metallurgical processes.

Researchers demonstrate an anode-free design (i.e., zero-excess Zn), which is enabled by employing a nanocarbon nucleation layer. (© ACS) Aqueous zinc-based batteries have been previously explored for ...

A new method to fit together layers of semiconductors as thin as a few nanometers has resulted in not only a scientific discovery but also a new type of transistor for high-power electronic devices. A ...

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Novellus Systems (Nasdaq: NVLS) announced today that it has developed an innovative DirectFill CVD tungsten nitride ...

Applied Materials has developed an atomic layer deposition (ALD) chamber for the deposition of thin, metal or dielectric high-purity films at low temperatures. The company has used its ALD technology, ...

As we enter the foundry 7nm and below technology nodes, tungsten fill for contacts has reached the physical limits of scaling and copper used in the lowest level interconnects is facing challenges on ...

Scientists have found that the seemingly random arrangement of islands that form to begin new layers during crystal growth can actually be very similar from layer to layer. The discovery may help ...

A new method to fit together layers of semiconductors as thin as a few nanometres has resulted in not only a scientific discovery but also a new type of transistor for high-power electronic devices.
