Dynamically Disordered Solid Materials Described with Theoretical Models

Solid materials are actually not quite as solid as they seem. Generally, each atom usually vibrates around a specific position in the material. Most theoretical models that aim to define solid materials are based on the notion that the atoms keep their positions and do not travel great distances from them.

The Current State of the Global Semiconductor Market

The global semiconductor market has entered an exciting period. Demand for chip technology is both driving the industry as well as hindering it, with current chip shortages predicted to last for some time. Current trends will likely shape the future of the industry, which is set to continue to show

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.

What Role Will The IoT Play In The Electric Vehicle Industry?

In recent years, the IoT is rapidly being introduced into almost all sectors, but it has particular importance in the EV industry.
