The silicon iron curtain that descended in 2025 may prove as consequential as the one that divided Europe for half a century. Only this time, the fault line runs through every smartphone, data center, ...

Scientists in China have constructed and tested a device that uses redox couples paired with a single triple-junction amorphous-silicon photoelectrode. When tested under a xenon lamp simulating one ...

Abstract: Subwavelength grating (SWG) couplers have attracted great attention in silicon photonics due to the flexible capacity of index tailoring for light coupling. With the intrinsic high ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a vapour-deposition method that they say ...

Researchers in Norway investigated the melting behavior of silicon kerf agglomerates under different atmospheres and temperatures to improve recycling for solar-grade silicon. They found that vacuum ...

Deep beneath our feet, far beyond the reach of drills or submersibles, Earth hides a solid metal heart that behaves in ways geophysicists have struggled to explain. New experiments now suggest that a ...

Physicists at Silicon Quantum Computing have developed what they say is the most accurate quantum computing chip ever engineered, after building a new kind of architecture.

NUS researchers have developed a vapor-deposition method that dramatically improves the long-term and high-temperature ...

Zoe McDonald has worked as a content creator and producer for more than eight years. She has held staff positions at national media brands as well as local outlets. She developed an interest in health ...

In order to scale quantum computers, more qubits must be added and interconnected. However, prior attempts to do this have ...

A new study examines the role of silicon in medium-carbon steels, demonstrating its impact on wear resistance and durability ...
