Here we simultaneously address the issues of 'dark' transport and photoconductivity in films of PbS nanocrystals, by incorporating them into optical field-effect transistors in which the channel ...

Researchers create self-assembling protein nanofibers with intrinsic photoconductivity, enabling biointegrated devices ...

The new approach makes use of a phenomenon called persistent photoconductivity. Materials that exhibit persistent photoconductivity become much more conductive when you shine a light on them.

Persistent photoconductivity used to stimulate neurotypic cells Date: January 22, 2018 Source: North Carolina State University Summary: Researchers have, for the first time, used a material's ...

“There’s a great deal of interest in being able to control cell behavior in relation to semiconductors – that’s the underlying idea behind bioelectronics,” says Albena Ivanisevic, a professor of ...

Discovered by Willoughby Smith in 1873, photoconductivity is the phenomenon where certain materials become more electrically conductive when exposed to light. It is the interplay of light and ...

Strontium titanate is a material of considerable interest for electronic applications. A recent study revealed that strontium titanate (STO) annealed in strontium oxide (SrO) powder exhibits large ...

A spectroscopic system will then capture the interaction of light with matter and analyse it. The lead researcher, Adil Haseeb, wants to better understand the conductivity and photoconductivity ...
