  • Semiconductor Engineering quoted Huamin Li in an article about research, co-led by Li and Fei Yao through UB’s Center for Advanced Semiconductor Technologies, that is working on mixing silicon with 2D materials to create energy-efficient semiconductor technology. 

  • Silicon Semiconductor quoted Huamin Li and Fei Yao in an article about a study in UB’s Center for Advanced Semiconductor Technologies that is working on mixing silicon with 2D materials to create energy-efficient semiconductor technology.

  • Phys.org reported on a study in UB’s Center for Advanced Semiconductor Technologies that is working on mixing silicon with 2D materials to create energy-efficient semiconductor technology.

  • The team will use AI and quantum science to apply 2D materials to satellite sensors, radiation shields and quantum computing.

  • Highlights include making hydrogen fuel cell less expensive and keeping bridges open after earthquakes.

  • It could reduce industry’s reliance on expensive platinum, which has hindered the growth of fuel cell electric vehicles, green power generation and more.

  • IEEE Spectrum interviews Huamin Li, assistant professor of electrical engineering, about new transistor technology. The article reports that by combining graphene and molybdenum disulfide, researchers have made a transistor that operates at half the voltage and has a higher current density than any state-of-the-art 2D transistor previously under development.
