Researchers probe mechanical properties of silicon carbide - MSNMade of silicon and carbon, SiC's semiconductive properties enable it to be used in transistors and microprocessors, whereas its insulative properties make it a prime candidate for use as heat ...
A rule-breaking, colorful silicone that could conduct electricity. Previously only thought to be insulating, a shift in the ...
Silicon is the backbone of the semiconductor industry, but it's also interesting in its own right. Here's why it's so important in modern computing—and in many other applications.
The semiconducting properties of the silicone copolymers also enable its spectrum of colors. Electrons jump between the ground and excited states by absorbing and emitting photons, or particles of ...
On a molecular level, silicones are made up of a backbone of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms (Si—O—Si) with organic (carbon-based) groups attached to the silicon. Various 3D formations of polymer ...
