N thin films with record-high scandium levels, with exciting potential for ultra-low-power memory devices, as reported by ...

Hardware Science chip semiconductor MIT researchers bond gallium nitride transistors to silicon for faster next-gen wireless devices This innovation reduces heat and enhances signal strength By ...

Carrier-induced degradation (CID) of multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) solar cells has been receiving significant attention; however, despite this increasing interest, the defect (or defects) ...

We have proposed and experimentally realized an ultra-compact and broadband silicon nitride edge-coupler that enables high coupling efficiency. The proposed coupler was realized by concatenating short ...

Titanium and its alloys have been commonly used as implant materials. However, the inherent bioinert nature hinders its good osseointegration which limits its permanent clinical applications. In this ...

On an AISI 300 stainless steel planar cathode (diameter: 100mm; thickness: 5mm) an electric voltage was applied (varied from 300V to 450V). This plasma system was used to deposit Ag-DLC films on ...

Titanium nitride (TiN) is an ideal material for infrared plasmonics due to its excellent optical properties, high melting temperature, mechanical and chemical stabilities, and bio- and CMOS ...
