Penn State researching ways to improve computer speed, efficiency
Nitin Samarth, department head of physics at Penn State, works with the molecular beam epitaxy equipment in his lab. He conducts research to design and build new materials needed for radically new kinds of computer chips that could open the door to a new era of super-fast quantum computers.

New, Multifunctional Electronic Devices May Soon Be Possible, New Research Suggests
Schematic drawing of the multiferroic tunnel junction of two polarization configurations. The red layer is the ferroelectric barrier and the green layer is the interface that undergoes metal-to-insulator as well as magnetic-phase transition when the barrier polarization is reversed.

Light-Emitting Triangles May Have Applications in Optical Technology
Triangular single layers of tungsten disulfide have been synthesized by Penn State researchers. The edges of the triangles exhibit extraordinary photoluminescence, while the interior area does not. The photoluminescent signal disappears as the number of layers increases. Credit: Terrones lab, Penn State University
