Scientists have created an enhanced, ultra-pure form of silicon that could one day be the foundation for highly reliable "silicon-spin qubits" in powerful quantum computers. While the bits in ...

Scientists have spent the last 60 years learning how to engineer silicon to make it perform to the best of its ability, but in quantum computing, it has its challenges. Natural silicon is made up of ...

Silicon is prevalent in photodetectors, solar cells in particular. However, its indirect band structure means that it is not a natural creator of light. Researchers demonstrated integrated non ...

it is believed that highly enriched Silicon-28 can conduct heat 150% more efficiently than natural Silicon, which will potentially allow for chips to become smaller, faster and cooler, the company ...

In addition to its potential to process superior information such as qubits, it is believed that highly enriched Silicon-28 can conduct heat 150% more efficiently (2) than natural Silicon ...
