Figure 3 – Model of a diamond structure superimposed on the artificial diamond structure (as in Figure 1). The red spheres indicate the atoms in the crystal lattice of diamond or silicon; the grey ...
Researchers at the University of California, Riverside, have uncovered how to manipulate electrical flow through crystalline ...
Silicon, a semi-metal, bonds in its natural form with four other elements and its three-dimensional structure takes the form of a tetrahedron. For a long time, it seemed impossible to achieve the ...
Silicon that has an ordered atomic structure. It is used in almost all integrated circuits in the electronics industry. Fabricated from quartzite, a pure form of sand, the quartzite is treated ...
By building the silicon quantum devices in Princeton's Quantum Device Nanofabrication Laboratory, the researchers were able to keep the spins coherent — that is, in their quantum states — for ...
III-V semiconductor lasers can be monolithically integrated with photonic chips by directly growing a crystalline layer of laser material, such as indium arsenide, on silicon substrate. However, ...

ExtremeTech on MSNWhat is Silicon? Computing's Most Important Element, ExplainedSilicon is a primordial element, created during the Big Bang or by nuclear fusion during a supernova. It's the eighth most abundant element in the observable Universe, but the third most abundant on ...
EXCEPT for thin films deposited at very low temperatures1, highly disordered arrangements of the atoms, similar to that of the liquid state, have never been observed in solid metals and alloys.
Crystal Structures Key to Steel’s Design Flexibility Feb. 7, 2023 Material engineers have mapped out the reasons some steels are better than others and how to make those better still.
