Electrical enhancement: Engineers speed up electrons in semiconductors
(PHYSorg.com Chemistry)

Researchers from the Graduate School of Bio-Applications and Systems Engineering at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT) have sped up the movement of electrons in organic semiconductor films by two to three orders of magnitude. The speedier electronics could lead to improved solar power and transistor use around the world, according to the scientists. They published their results in the September issue of Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics.
