Twisting a Crystal at the Nanoscale Changes How Electricity Flows

Scientists have shown that twisting a crystal at the nanoscale can turn it into a tiny, reversible diode, hinting at a new era of shape-engineered electronics. Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science, working with collaborators, have created a new technique for building three-dimensional nanoscale devices directly from single crystals. The approach uses […]Technology,Electronics,Materials Science,Nanotechnology,RIKEN#Twisting #Crystal #Nanoscale #Electricity #Flows1768992879
