Two-dimensional (2-D) semiconductors are promising for quantum computing and future electronics. Now, researchers can convert metallic gold into semiconductor and customize the material atom-by-atom on boron nitride nanotubes. Gold is a conductive material already widely used as interconnects in electronic devices. As electronics have gotten smaller and more powerful, the semiconducting materials involved have also shrunk. However, computers have gotten about as small as they can with existing designs—to break the barrier, researchers dive into the physics underlying quantum computing and the unusual behaviors of gold in quantum mechanics. Researchers can convert gold into semiconducting quantum dots made of a single layer of atoms. Their energy gap, or bandgap, is formed by the quantum confinement—a quantum effect when materials behave like atoms as their sizes get so small approaching the molecular scale. These 2-D gold quantum dots can be used for electronics with a bandgap that is

WOW This really is fucked up! Five Atlanta gang members were convicted this week of raping and killing a man that was a former police informant. Prosecutors are calling it “the most brutal murder” in the city’s recent history. The men all purported members of the Gangster Disciples street gang murdered Christopher Dean, 33, in October 2016 after they discovered that he was once a police witness in California. Christopher Lockett, 30, had invited the victim to the home of brothers Xavier Gibson, 23, and Orlando Gibson, 30. The victim was told that he could buy drugs at the location, the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement. But instead, Dean was brutally beaten with a two-by-four and a crowbar and sodomized with a handle-like object and seminal fluid was discovered in his rectal cavity, prosecutors said. The gang members Lockett, Xavier Gibson, Quatez Clark, 21, Joshua Rooks, 27, and Jasper Green, 27, were convicted Monday of murder, participation in criminal str

You ever wonder where she gets her hate for the country, and it’s current president? Well look no further than her boss, friend, and mentor. That’s right Mr 44 himself Barack Obamanation. “Barack Obama met with us new members of Congress, and we had a thoughtful discussion about serving our country,” she tweeted while sharing a picture of the two of them together. “The best part was when he looked straight at me and said, ‘I’m proud of you.'” The former president also tweeted his thoughts on meeting the latest batch of House Democrats. “It’s a young, diverse class, stocked with a bunch of my campaign and administration alums who’ve taken the torch. This group is going to be driving progress for a long time to come,” he wrote. According to reports, Obama used the event to warn the freshmen about the cost of some of the policies that have attracted media attention. My question is was she sworn in with a bible or Quran? And if it’s not a christian bible, and it is a Quran could this i

Sen. Dianne Feinstein Argues With Children Over Green New Deal: “I Know What I’m Doing” Well we can all argue that but in this case she’s right. Listen to how funny these uneducated kids go out spewing the same lie they picked up from AOC, and their retarded leftist teacher. This video is hilarious! In it we see a group of children with the Sunrise Movement, a climate advocacy group that went into Senator Dianne Feinstein’s office to sway her vote on the Green New Deal. The California Democrat said no, telling the children, “I’ve been doing this for 30 years. I know what I’m doing. You come in here and you say, ‘It has to be my way or the highway.’ I don’t respond to that.” While she’s been in office for FAR too long! She’s right in her reaction to these kids. Kids nowadays think they know it all because they listen to morons like AOC, and pick up the idiotic ramblings of morons who call themselves “Teachers” who do nothing but spew the same bullshit they hear from AOC. You can tell th

Glenn Jacobs, the conservative small business owner best known as the professional wrestler Kane, defeated Democratic nominee Linda Haney in the Knox County mayoral race on Thursday, according to unofficial returns. Speaking to attendees of his watch party at Crowne Plaza in downtown Knoxville, Jacobs said he doesn’t normally use wrestling analogies for a campaign. “But this professional wrestler got into a no-holds-barred, last-man-standing match, and when the bell rung, he was victorious,” he said. “We were victorious.” Read more: https://knoxne.ws/2WWN28Y Discover the stories that matter most to you.
