A South Korean research team has, for the first time, uncovered the molecular-level mechanism by which trace amounts of impurities—known as dopants—can reverse charge polarity in organic polymer ...

In every scientific discovery in the movies, a scientist observes something unexpected, scratches the side of his or her forehead and says "hmmmmm." In just such a moment in real life, scientists from ...

Charge transport in polymer semiconductors arises from the movement of charge carriers—electrons and holes—along and between conjugated molecular chains. At the molecular scale, transport occurs via a ...

A research team led by Prof. Boseok Kang at Sungkyunkwan University has uncovered the origin of polarity inversion—a long-standing phenomenon in polymer semiconductors that occurs only in certain ...

The ideal material for interfacing electronics with living tissue is soft, stretchable, and just as water-loving as the tissue itself: in short, a hydrogel. Meanwhile, semiconductors—the key materials ...

A new technical paper titled “Material Needs and Measurement Challenges for Advanced Semiconductor Packaging: Understanding the Soft Side of Science” was published by researchers at the National ...

Semiconducting polymer nanomaterials are advanced π-conjugated polymers with alternating double and single bonds, which allow for π-electron delocalization and intermolecular π−π interactions. Unlike ...

A new technical report titled “Polymer semiconductor blends with remarkably stable semiconducting performance under large and cyclic mechanical deformation” was published by Chinese Academy of ...
