Shrinking computers, faster phones, and smarter gadgets all rely on one tiny component: the transistor. Invented in the 20th ...

Shrinking silicon transistors have reached their physical limits, but a team from the University of Tokyo is rewriting the ...

The importance of characterising the atomic structure ... an amorphous oxide. In contrast to the technologically more relevant Si(100) surface, the surface of a (111)-terminated silicon crystal ...

A new study in Small presents a 3D SiOx-embedded porous carbon nanofiber host that stabilizes lithium-metal batteries by ...

In a new paper available online in the American Chemical Society ... the need for a "device edge structure." "That means we can take a sheet of porous silicon oxide and just drop down electrodes ...

In the semiconductor industry, silicon has long dominated the manufacturing of smartphones, computers, and electric vehicles.

By dumping silicon for indium-oxide, researchers have made tiny transistors that outperform devices previously made.

“Indium oxide contains oxygen-vacancy defects, which facilitate carrier scattering and thus lower device stability,” says ...

Oxides contain at least one oxygen atom, and silicon oxide may refer to silicon dioxide (SiO 2) or silicon monoxide (SiO). Silicon dioxide is a hard, glassy mineral found in materials such as rock ...
