Silicon has reigned supreme in electronics for the better part of a century, and now a new version might help extend its use into the future. Engineers at North Carolina State University (NCSU) have ...

HPQ-Silicon Resources ( ($TSE:HPQ) ) has shared an announcement. In its 2025 year-end update, HPQ Silicon reported a strategic shift from broad ...

As great as silicon is for semiconductor applications, it has one weakness in that using it for lasers isn’t very practical. Never say never though, as it turns out that you can now grow lasers ...

Laser processing of silicon materials has emerged as a transformative technique in microelectronics and photonics, enabling precise internal modifications that bypass the limitations of traditional ...

Start-ups hoping to commercialize silicon materials for battery anodes raised nearly half a billion dollars in the final quarter of 2022. The money is intended to help them build factories and ...

Scientists led by the Kunming University of Science and Technology in China have proposed to reuse silicon from discarded solar cells to develop silicon-carbon composite anode materials that could be ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new material that conducts heat 150% more efficiently than conventional materials used in advanced chip technologies. The device – an ultrathin silicon nanowire – could ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Nanoelectronics deal with extremely small electronic components — transistors, sensors and circuits that can fit on the tip of a needle. This technology powers our everyday lives ...

Scientists have found that a “superatomic” material is the fastest and most efficient semiconductor ever. Taking advantage of a tortoise-and-hare mechanism, the new material can transport energy much ...

Just after sunrise on a cloudless morning last June, two propellers started spinning on a slender aircraft sitting on a runway in the New Mexico desert. Chocks securing bicycle-sized wheels were ...

BUTTE, Mont. — REC Advanced Silicon Material LLC announced it's shutting down its polysilicon production capacity at its Butte facility. The company says the shutdown is primarily due to regional ...
