Stir this silicon-based powder into water, and hydrogen will bubble out, ready for immediate use. Hong Kong company EPRO Advance Technology (EAT) says its Si+ powder offers an instant end to the ...

Led by Prof Richard Curry of University of Manchester, the team says their ‘breakthrough’ in creating pure silicon solves a major problem in quantum computing. While silicon forms the basis for most ...

Researchers at the Universities of Melbourne and Manchester have invented a breakthrough technique for manufacturing highly purified silicon that brings powerful quantum computers a big step closer.

According to University at Buffalo scientists super-small particles of silicon react with water to produce hydrogen almost instantaneously. In a series of experiments, the scientists created spherical ...

Bottom line: Scientists from UC Berkeley have developed and demonstrated a new type of ultrathin silicon nanowire with heat dissipation properties far superior to currently used technology. The ...

Researchers in India have demonstrated a wet chemical process to recover silicon with high purity from end-of-life solar panels, which they used to make functionalized silica nanoparticles. Tests of ...

Panasonic is collaborating with Sila Nanotechnologies, a California-based company co-founded by Tesla’s seventh employee, to improve lithium-ion battery anodes for electric vehicles (EVs). This new ...

Conventional lithium-ion batteries rely on anodes made of graphite, but it is widely believed that the performance of this material has reached its zenith, prompting researchers to look at possible ...
