Silicon is the gold-standard in modern-day electronics because it is a highly stable and efficient semiconductor material. It acts as an electrical conductor in certain conditions and an electrical ...

In the consumer electronics playbook, custom silicon is the final step in the marathon: you use off-the-shelf components to prove a product, achieve mass scale and only then invest in proprietary ...

Physicists found why holes move slower than electrons in silicon: not defects, but higher intrinsic mass, supporting ...

Since silicon is the third most abundant element on Earth (after iron and oxygen), it is undoubtedly a readily accessible raw material. It is a significant component of solar cells and electronic ...

MIT engineers use heat-conducting silicon microstructures to perform matrix multiplication with >99% accuracy hinting at ...

Wide bandgap (WBG) materials such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) are best positioned to address emerging power electronics performance needs in electric vehicles (EVs), with SiC ...

Shrinking transistors has driven computing performance for decades, but the approach is hitting physical ...

Silicon-based speaker set to make some noise in future earphones By Paul Ridden April 02, 2020 After its first successful funding round, Arioso Systems is now looking to work with audio gear makers to ...

One such material that has attracted considerable interest is borophene - a single-atom-thick sheet of boron atoms. First theoretically predicted in the 1990s, borophene remained elusive ...

The term ‘bandgap’ refers to the energy difference between a material’s insulating and conducting states, a critical factor determining its electrical conductivity. As shown in figure 1, with its wide ...

ThreeBond TB1220 series are silicon sealants with a difference – this zero-alcohol range of products show major advances in terms of curing speed and storage. Remarkable improvements have been ...

Key opportunities include tapping into the rising demand for electric vehicles, growth in renewable energy installations, and ...
