    Semiconductors are either solid or liquid material‚ able to conduct electricity at room temperature more readily than an insulator‚ but less easily than a metal. Electrical conductivity‚ which is the ability to conduct electrical current under the application of a voltage‚ has one of the widest ranges of values of any physical property of matter. Such metals as copper‚ silver‚ and aluminum are excellent conductors‚ but such insulators as diamond and glass are very poor conductors. At low temperatures

    Beyond Silicon Computing DNA Computers: Ever since scientists discovered that conventional silicon-based computers have an upper limit in terms of speed‚ they have been searching for alternate media with which to solve computational problems. That search has led us‚ among other places‚ to DNA. The advantage of DNA is that it is tiny‚ cheap‚ and can react faster than silicon. Since this fledgling field is only eight years old‚ it is difficult to guess at this stage what applications it may

    the colonies of staphylococci surrounding this mold had been destroyed. He later said of the incident‚ "When I woke up just after dawn on September 28‚ 1928‚ I certainly didn’t plan to revolutionize all medicine by discovering the world’s first antibiotic‚ or bacteria killer. But I suppose that was exactly what I did." He at first called the substance "mold juice‚" and then named it "penicillin‚" after the mold that produced it. Thinking he had found an enzyme more powerful than lysozyme‚ Fleming

    During the American Industrial Revolution that occurred in the 1800s‚ new technology and inventions were created‚ revolutionizing America. America’s industrialization is referred to as a revolution because it’s development of transportation‚ mass production‚ and immigration revolutionized America both economically and socially. Amid the 1800s‚ the US government encouraged the production of a transcontinental railroad by granting land to railroad companies. By 1869 a message could be sent from

    It is not a secret that the Beatles is one of the most famous groups of all times. However it is extraordinary that John and Paul were the songwriters even though they did not know how to read or write music (Davies). This was not a obstacle for them and their creative work. The Beatles revolutionized the music industry with their distinct and unique style. They were lucky enough to reach the peak of popularity when the demographics were favorable with all the baby boomers from the war were teenager

    Intrinsic Semi Conductors Intrinsic semiconductors are composed of only one kind of material. Silicon and germanium are two examples. They are also called "undoped semiconductors" or "i-type semiconductors". Extrinsic Semi Conductors Extrinsic semiconductors are made of intrinsic semiconductors that have had other substances added to them to alter their properties (they have been doped with another element). There are two types of extrinsic semiconductors: p-type (p for positive: a hole has

    Photosynthesis and Semiconductor-Based Solar Cells Photosynthesis‚ by definition‚ is “the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy” (photosynthesis‚ 2011). This is a remarkable process that occurs naturally and is one that is required for all living organisms to sustain existence on this planet. The efficiency of this process has sparked inventions‚ such as the semiconductor-based solar cell‚ that would allow humans to produce energy
