Researchers uncovered how soft regions in amorphous silicon mix order and disorder, offering new insights for designing stronger amorphous materials. Persistence diagram obtained from the structure of ...

Scientists uncovered rare hexagonal silicon forms (2H, 4H, 6H) created by stress and heat, challenging assumptions about this key electronic material. This is not the first time hexagonal silicon has ...

The MUSiC Fabrication Lab at the University of Arkansas Fayetteville supports advanced research in next-generation ...

Circuit scaling is starting to hit a wall as the laws of physics clash with exponential increases in the volume of data, forcing chipmakers to take a much closer look at silicon photonics as a way of ...

What Causes Silicon Anode Swelling? When a silicon anode reacts with lithium in a battery, it undergoes significant volumetric expansion. The electrochemical reaction between these two materials leads ...
