(PhysOrg.com) -- A team of researchers working out of the University of California, Berkeley, has developed an entirely new class of two-dimensional semiconductor made of indium arsenide. Called quantum membranes, the new material has a band structure and can be turned from a bulk material to a two-dimensional one, simply by reducing its size. The team, led by Ali Javey, have published the results of their findings in Nano Letters.
