"Semiconductor Breakthrough: Researchers Synthesize Single-Atom-Thick Goldene"

Researchers at Linköping University have successfully created a single-atom layer of gold, termed goldene, using a method inspired by Japanese forging art. This breakthrough has given gold new properties, making it suitable for various applications such as carbon dioxide conversion, hydrogen production, and value-added chemical production. The material, titanium gold carbide, was created by intercalation and then exfoliated using a modified version of Murakami's reagent. The resulting goldene sheets have two free bonds when two-dimensional, opening up possibilities for a wide range of applications. The researchers are now exploring the potential for other noble metals and additional future applications.

"Aerogel: Revolutionizing Future Terahertz Technologies"

Researchers at Linköping University have developed a breakthrough in terahertz wave technology by demonstrating that the transmission of terahertz light can be adjusted when passed through an aerogel composed of cellulose and a conducting polymer. This advancement holds promise for applications in medical imaging and communication, as terahertz waves can pass through non-conductive materials without damaging tissue. The aerogel, which is both water-repellent and can be naturally defrosted via sunlight, offers a large modulation range for regulating the transmission of terahertz waves.

Innovators Develop World's First Wooden Transistor.

Swedish researchers from Linköping University and KTH Royal Institute of Technology have created the world's first wooden transistor using balsa wood and conductive polymer. The transistor is shaped like a "T" and can function as a double-gate organic electrochemical transistor and functional on/off switch. The device could be used in bioelectronic and plant electronics, and is expected to be a stepping stone toward the development of smaller, more conductive and faster devices.
