NUS Researchers Discover Unusual ‘Quasiparticle’ in Common 2D Material
The new quasiparticle, named ‘polaronic trion’, enables significant tunability in the optoelectronic properties of prominent 2D material, molybdenum disulphide.
Energy-Efficient Power Electronics — Gallium Oxide Power Transistors With Record Values
The Ferdinand-Braun-Institut (FBH) has now achieved a breakthrough with transistors based on gallium oxide (beta-Ga2O3). The newly developed beta-Ga2O3-MOSFETs (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor) provide a high breakdown voltage combined with high current conductivity. With a breakdown voltage of 1.8 kilovolts and a record power figure of merit of 155 megawatts per square centimeter, they achieve unique performance figures close to the theoretical material limit of gallium oxide.

Can’t Get Thinner Than This: Synthesis of Atomically Flat Boron Sheets
Since its rediscovery and characterization in 2004, graphene has been the focus of countless research efforts across multiple fields. It is a very versatile material consisting of a two-dimensional (2D) carbon network; in other words, it comprises a thin sheet of carbon that has a thickness of one atom. Graphene is not only stronger than the strongest steels, but also has a myriad of interesting chemical, electronic, and mechanical characteristics…
