Investigation of the ultrafast photoexcited electronic response in semiconductors has provided invaluable insights into the carrier dynamics and dielectric properties of many materials. Germanium and ...

Scientists have created a new form of germanium—a material already central to computer chips and fiber optics—that can ...

Scientists have successfully made germanium, a key semiconductor used in computer chips and fiber optics, superconducting for ...

Gordon Moore's visionary prediction, made in 1965, that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit chip would double every two years continues to be the main idea guiding the semiconductor ...

This graphic depicts a new electronic device created at Purdue that uses germanium as the semiconductor instead of silicon. Germanium is one material being considered to replace silicon in future ...

A new type of germanium superconductor could allow classical and quantum chips to be built into one device, creating better ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - A laboratory at Purdue University provided a critical part of the world's first transistor in 1947 - the purified germanium semiconductor - and now researchers here are on the ...
