WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue University researchers have discovered how to harness the light-emitting properties of porous silicon to stabilize the material's surface and direct it to respond to ...

Electrical engineers at Stanford have identified two semiconductors – hafnium diselenide and zirconium diselenide – that share or even exceed some of silicon’s desirable traits, starting with the fact ...

The global energy consumption is increasing rapidly. To meet these demands, extensive research has started to develop different kinds of materials for photovoltaic application. Silicon and its ...

In the quest to coax more capacity from electric vehicle batteries, automakers are increasingly turning to silicon, a widely available but fragile ingredient that promises to boost capacity by at ...

Combining hydrogen with ultrathin graphene may be the key to producing semiconductors that pick up where silicon leaves off. Researchers have demonstrated that a single-atom-thick layer of hydrogen ...

Scientists have genetically engineered bacteria to make a protein that squishes silicon and carbon together long enough for them to stick to one another — forming a bond that, until now, only chemists ...
