"Breakthrough Discovery: World's Fastest Semiconductor Unveiled, Revolutionizing Computer Chip Speeds"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Inverse

Chemists have accidentally discovered a new material called Re6Se8Cl2, which could potentially make computer chips twice as fast as those made with silicon. Unlike silicon, Re6Se8Cl2 slows down electrons when they encounter phonons, resulting in a more direct path for electron movement. However, the rarity and cost of rhenium, a key ingredient in Re6Se8Cl2, make it impractical for mass production. Nevertheless, researchers are now exploring other materials with similar properties to develop faster computer chips.

Celebrating the Nobel Prize Winners: Unveiling the Secrets of Atoms, Electrons, and mRNA

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Reuters

Scientists Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz, and Anne L'Huillier have been awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics for their groundbreaking work in creating ultra-short pulses of light that can capture the movement of electrons within atoms and molecules. This discovery opens up new possibilities for understanding electron behavior in materials and has potential applications in electronics and medical diagnostics. The Nobel Prize in Physics is the second to be awarded this year, following the Nobel Prize in Medicine for mRNA molecule discoveries related to COVID-19 vaccines.
