Researchers in Europe have found a way to make silicon-germanium (SiGe) alloys emit light efficiently, a breakthrough that has the potential to revolutionize integrated silicon photonics. In that ...

Washington, DC--A team led by Carnegie's Thomas Shiell and Timothy Strobel developed a new method for synthesizing a novel crystalline form of silicon with a hexagonal structure that could potentially ...

They don’t call this the Silicon Age for nothing – the element is vital to all of the electronics that our modern world is built on. Now, research led by the Carnegie Institution for Science has ...

(Nanowerk News) For building quantum computers, making use of both electronics and photonics – technology that works with light – on one and the same chip, is promising. Thanks to silicon technology ...

Researchers from Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) and the University of Montpellier have successfully synthesized wafer-scale hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) exhibiting an ...

For a long time, scientists associated crystal structures with an ordered arrangement of atoms in a repeating lattice-like pattern, believing it to be the most stable configuration. However, by the ...

A team developed a new method for synthesizing a novel crystalline form of silicon with a hexagonal structure that could potentially be used to create next-generation electronic and energy devices ...
