The University of Konstanz and Chinese panel maker Longi have assessed the impact of gettering on LeTID in industrial ...

Although the history of many new materials begins with a push towards purity, the effort to introduce impurities can start soon afterwards. The use of silicon in electronics, for example ...

Like silica fibres, chalcogenide fibres can be ... Varying levels of trace impurities, even at levels of a few parts per million, can alter the spectroscopic behaviour of a chalcogenide glass.

However, low grade silica sand, with a lower percentage of silicon dioxide and higher impurities, has traditionally been overlooked. In this article, we delve into the dynamics of the low grade ...

The calcium oxide then reacts with silica (sand) impurities in the haematite, to produce slag – which is calcium silicate. This is separated from the iron and used to make road surfaces.

This study examines silica-based nanocomposites' dual role in antimicrobial and photocatalytic applications, addressing microbial resistance and pollution.
