Zinc oxide is a “jack of all trades” ... These foreign atoms either release an electron (n-doping), or absorb an electron, thus creating a “hole” in the solid (p-doping).

However, zinc oxide, a material known for its strong electron correlation and excellent spin quantum coherence, had not yet been explored for use in electrically defined quantum dots, i.e., those ...

An accidental twist in semiconductor research has led to a breakthrough that could fix a common issue in zinc batteries. A ...

The zinc oxide nanopagoda exhibits minimal crystal defects, high electron conductivity, and step structures enabling high surface chemical reaction activity. Introduction of silver nanoparticles ...

And when the zinc anode went under a scanning electron microscope for inspection, it looked great. The anode wasn’t clogged up with zinc oxide, and there were no pointy zinc needles growing.
