Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have unlocked a hidden power within silicon, the backbone of modern electronics. Their findings could transform how future devices are built, ...

UC Riverside scientists built a molecular silicon switch that controls electricity using quantum interference instead of ...

Researchers at the University of California, Riverside, have uncovered how to manipulate electrical flow through crystalline ...

Silicon 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 ...

Incize, a Belgian cutting-edge semiconductor characterization and modeling company, and Atomera (Nasdaq: ATOM), a pioneer in ...

Silicon forms an alloy with lithium ions—a process that can store more than four lithium atoms for every silicon atom. The additional lithium atoms, and a lack of space to store them, cause ...

The silicon atom is located at the center of a split-vacancy configuration, with the two missing carbon atoms on either side along the <111> crystallographic direction. This arrangement gives rise to ...
