Diamond-based circuits can take the heat for advanced applications

When power generators transfer electricity, they lose almost 10 percent of the generated power. To address this, scientists are researching new diamond semiconductor circuits to make power conversion systems more efficient. Researchers have now successfully fabricated a key circuit in power conversion systems using hydrogenated diamond. These circuits can be used in diamond-based electronic devices that are smaller, lighter and more efficient than silicon-based devices.

Turning non-magnetic materials magnetic with atomically thin films

The rules about magnetic order may need to be rewritten. An international team of researchers found that it was possible to turn a non-magne...
