Silicon is king in the semiconductor technology that underpins smartphones, computers, electric vehicles and more, but its ...

Shrinking computers, faster phones, and smarter gadgets all rely on one tiny component: the transistor. Invented in the 20th ...

Shrinking silicon transistors have reached their physical limits, but a team from the University of Tokyo is rewriting the ...

A new study in Small presents a 3D SiOx-embedded porous carbon nanofiber host that stabilizes lithium-metal batteries by ...

By dumping silicon for indium-oxide, researchers have made tiny transistors that outperform devices previously made.

“Indium oxide contains oxygen-vacancy defects, which facilitate carrier scattering and thus lower device stability,” says ...

Located in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ), these filaments could be a part of a cyclical process in one of the galaxy’s ...

Using a combination of slurry and gas-phase silicon evaporation methods, researchers have developed a high-density protective ...

or silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor structures. While donor-based quantum dots take a different approach, they encode qubits through the use of dopants like phosphorus, with fabrication methods ...

A team of researchers led by NYU Tandon has found a simple yet powerful way to make cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar panels ...

Jean Hoerni, a Fairchild Semiconductor scientist, patents the planar process, a radically new transistor design with a protective layer of silicon oxide mounted on top of the transistor.

This is usually not pure silicon, but silicon oxide (SiO x). It contains active Si nanodomains which enable the specific capacity to be tripled compared to conventional graphite anodes. Johannes ...
