Researchers have invented a breakthrough technique for manufacturing highly purified silicon that brings powerful quantum computers a big step closer. Researchers at the Universities of Melbourne and ...

Battery improvements may take decades to happen. On rare occasions, we can have two on the same day. After QuantumScape said its solid-state lithium-metal platform could replace traditional anodes ...

UC Irvine-led research reveals that the optical properties of materials can be dramatically enhanced—not by changing the materials themselves, but by giving the light new properties. The researchers ...

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 (see ...

Bottom line: Scientists from UC Berkeley have developed and demonstrated a new type of ultrathin silicon nanowire with heat dissipation properties far superior to currently used technology. The ...

Researchers at the Universities of Melbourne and Manchester have invented a breakthrough technique for manufacturing highly purified silicon that brings powerful quantum computers a big step closer.
