Monocrystalline silicon is used in the photovoltaic cells that some solar panels use to convert sunlight into electricity. Another form, amorphous silicon, is used to make the glass that covers ...

A display rumor states that the MacBook Air (2027), like existing MacBook Pro models, will switch from amorphous silicon to oxide TFT LCD.

Water is ubiquitous and seemingly ordinary, possessing no distinct color or odor. Though we often take water for granted, it ...

An OLED MacBook Air is still in the pipeline for Apple, just not quite yet. However, 2027 MacBook Airs will at least get a display upgrade.

Transition metals have long been used as catalysts to activate small molecules and turn them into valuable products. However, as these metals can be expensive and less abundant, scientists are ...

Silicon (Si) is one of the most abundant elements on Earth, found in large quantities in soil. While Si is not essential for land plants, many plants, such as rice and grasses, have used Si to develop ...

The larger and more uniform grains of polysilicon (poly-Si) allow electrons to flow 100 times faster than they do through the random-sized grains of amorphous silicon (a-Si), enabling higher ...

TOPCon combines the benefits of crystalline silicon and amorphous silicon thin-film into one high-power hybrid solar cell. Unlike the more complex HJT (heterojunction technology), TOPCon only ...

The academics say that cadmium telluride solar modules have the lowest life cycle impact, followed by amorphous, multi and monocrystalline silicon products. Scientists at Australia’s Charles ...
