A rule-breaking, colorful silicone that could conduct electricity. Previously only thought to be insulating, a shift in the ...

This was made possible by changing the “electronic state of matter on demand” through a technique known as thermal quenching.

Silicon also is a poor heat conductor as we’ve all noticed when working with high-speed or high-power electronics. Researchers at MIT, the University of Houston, ...

What Is a Semiconductor? A semiconductor is a material product with some of the properties of both insulators and conductors (hence semi, meaning half or partial, conductor).Semiconductors are ...

Silicon Wafers Market by Size (150 mm, 200 mm, 300 mm, 450 mm), Type (P-type, ... Because silicon conductors allow electrical currents to move through them far more quickly than other conductors, ...

Silicon—made from beach sand—is the key material for today's information technology industry because it is an abundant and versatile semiconductor: It can act as a conductor or an insulator ...
