With higher efficiency and lower costs, perovskite–silicon tandem cells mark a breakthrough in solar tech. Can they truly ...

Thermal analysis of AlGaN/GaN high-electron mobility transistors on silicon has been performed with emphasis on the influence of the field-plate configuration on power dissipation and temperature ...

Scientists have achieved a major milestone in the quest to understand high-temperature superconductivity in hydrogen-rich materials. Using electron tunneling spectroscopy under high pressure, the ...

It recently achieved 34.6% efficiency with a silicon-perovskite tandem. Researchers from Germany's Fraunhofer ISE model that tandems could reach a practical efficiency of up to 39.5%, far beyond ...

"Equal1 has always believed that silicon is the vehicle to scale quantum computers and today, with these world leading qubit and control chip results, we have taken a major step towards this vision." ...

The researchers directed a focused, high-speed beam of pure silicon-28 at a silicon chip so the silicon-28 gradually replaced the silicon-29 atoms in the chip, reducing silicon-29 from 4.5% to two ...

Silicon-rich anode materials have been used in batteries for niche applications like BAE Systems' high-altitude drone, but the materials' hefty cost has kept them out of car batteries.

For years, imec has advanced the state of the art in silicon photonics and, more recently, we have worked out many silicon- and germanium-based electro-optical components at bandwidths of up to 50 ...

The crystallographic coalescence of crystalline silicon clusters into superlattice structures, generated by direct deposition of a silicon cluster beam on a graphene substrate, has been observed. High ...

Silicon Valley Bank failed late last week, prompting fears of wider upheaval. Here's what you should know about the collapse and what comes next.
