From quartz sand to silicon wafers, the manufacturing process is critical for achieving the purity and quality needed for ...

In an interview with pv magazine, Empa scientist Mirjana Dimitrievska explains that the CIGS photovoltaic technology, while promising for efficiency and flexible applications, faces persistent ...

Researchers in Finland have experimentally realized a long-predicted class of quantum material: a two-dimensional topological ...

Solid-state batteries could be safer and more energy-dense than today’s lithium-ion technology, but finding materials that allow ions to move quickly through solid electrolytes has been difficult.

Long-established in accelerator physics, bent crystals are now being explored as tools to measure the fundamental properties ...

Researchers have found that isotopic purity is the "missing link" for making silicon a world-class quantum material.

Quantum technologies, computers or other devices that operate leveraging quantum mechanical effects, rely on the precise ...

We are now one generation of technological alchemy away from the smallest possible silicon microchips.

Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing instruments capable of resolving them with any clarity. The journey from the first ...

Chances are that all your encounters with frozen water—while trudging through slushy winter streets, perhaps, or treating yourself to cool summer lemonades—have been confined to one structural form of ...

BOZEMAN, Mont. — A Bozeman-based company is breaking ground on a new 80,000-square-foot facility thanks to an $18.5 million investment from the U.S. Department of Defense. Lattice Materials, part of ...

The new 80,000 square-foot facility is part of the company's ongoing growth strategy to meet rising demand for critical infrared products while strengthening a secure domestic supply chain. This new ...
