Quantum technologies are anticipated to transform computing, communication, and sensing by harnessing the unusual behavior of matter at the atomic scale. Translating quantum's promise into practical ...

18650 batteries testing continues to deliver 14% performance improvement versus graphite benchmark batteries with minimal battery degradation rates at 125 cycles [1]. The data from Figure 1 below ...

(Yicai) Feb. 25 -- China’s Tongwei has unveiled plans to acquire its Chinese peer Lihao Clean Energy, consolidating its position as the world’s largest producer of high-purity crystalline silicon ...

Silicon has reigned supreme in electronics for the better part of a century, and now a new version might help extend its use into the future. Engineers at North Carolina State University (NCSU) have ...

As great as silicon is for semiconductor applications, it has one weakness in that using it for lasers isn’t very practical. Never say never though, as it turns out that you can now grow lasers ...

Researchers have developed a new theoretical model explaining one way to make black silicon. The new etching model precisely explains how fluorine gas breaks certain bonds in the silicon more often ...

For over 75 years, silicon has been the dominant material in the evolution of modern electronics, powering everything from smartphones to satellites. But as chipmakers push toward smaller nodes, ...

Semiconductors present in the world now are made of different materials, but one of the most famous is the Silicon take, which manufacturers say is the best there is for the chips. Several examples of ...

Scientists have found that a “superatomic” material is the fastest and most efficient semiconductor ever. Taking advantage of a tortoise-and-hare mechanism, the new material can transport energy much ...

Just after sunrise on a cloudless morning last June, two propellers started spinning on a slender aircraft sitting on a runway in the New Mexico desert. Chocks securing bicycle-sized wheels were ...
