Silicon-carbon batteries look like the solution to small battery capacity in Android phones, but there are two problems to overcome.

Researchers have developed a breakthrough semiconductor alloy that paves the way for advanced quantum, photonic, and ...

Scientific terms can sometimes look frustratingly similar, as is the case for silicon and silicone. But the two materials are very different, and this is how.

Researchers have developed a material that has never existed before: a stable alloy of carbon, silicon, germanium, and tin.

Its constituents are decomposed using metallurgy at high temperature to obtain pure silicon. That then reacts with methyl chloride to form chlorosilanes, molecules essential to all silicone-based ...

Constructed from individual pure silicon crystals, they can convert more sunlight into electricity than any other panel type.

Researchers at the Universities of Melbourne and Manchester have invented a breakthrough technique for manufacturing highly purified silicon that brings powerful quantum computers a big step closer.

Monocrystalline solar panels are made from a single, pure silicon crystal, giving them a uniform, black appearance. They have a higher efficiency rate, typically between 17% and 22%.

When silicon is alloyed with iron and carbon at a concentration of between 3% and 6% by weight of finished metal, it increases the resistivity of the resulting steel.

If you’re thinking of adding solar panels to your home, it’s important to know the different types and determine which will work best for you.

Private equity firm ZMC has announced via press release that it has acquired a controlling stake in Pure Wafer, the largest semiconductor silicon solutions and services company in the United States.

Often thought of as a hybrid between quantum dot and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) quantum computers, the Kane computer is based on an array of individual phosphorus donor atoms embedded in a pure ...
