More than $2 billion has been spent over the past 15 years in trying to develop the technology and infrastructure behind liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCoS) displays. After a fitful start ...

Silicon is a semiconductor in group IVA of the periodic table with atomic number 14, an atomic weight of 28.086, and a density of 2.33 Mg/m 3. It melts at 1410 C. The electronic configuration of the ...

says the solution to the problem is to create a new long-term data storage concept using atomic-scale defects in silicon carbide. These defects, created by a focused beam of protons or helium ions ...

Silicon semiconductors aren’t stable in space because of proton irradiation coming from the sun. We tested organic photovoltaics with protons because they are considered the most damaging ...

Mesoporous silicon is crystalline silicon with disordered nanometer-sized pores. The material has a huge internal surface area and is also biocompatible. This opens up a wide range of potential ...

In 2020, Apple announced the Mac transition to Apple Silicon. Replacing Intel was a large undertaking, but it proved successful. Apple was able to develop chips that were both faster and more ...

The idea of using silicon didn’t come up until midway through the next decade, and it wasn’t until 1960 that a thin layer of oxidised silicon, found in today’s most widely used transistors ...
