Band engineering China for improved photo-electro-chemical etch
Researchers from Ohio State University (OSU) and University of California–Irvine (UCI) have developed a band engineering China technique to improve the results from photo-electro-chemical (PEC) etch of nitride semiconductors [Prashanth Ramesh et al, Appl.

Library opens two interactive children installations
Emma Offutt, 8, worked with library staff to complete an electro-etching experiment. She sketched a design onto a metal dog tag covered with nail polish, then, using electricity and a solution, the design became etched into the metal. “It was really …

With “ribbons” of graphene, width matters
The atoms in graphene are arranged on a honeycomb lattice that, depending on the direction of the cut produces either an “armchair-shaped” edge or a “zigzag” one. The semiconducting behaviors the researchers observed with their etching China method will only …
