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 ...

California Institute of Technology researchers have worked out that super thin structures made of silicon and silica oxide convert waves of infrared light into a momentum that would accelerate a probe ...

Silicon-oxide memories are compatible with conventional transistor manufacturing technology, said Tour, who recently attended a workshop by the National Science Foundation and IBM on breaking the ...

Rice University researchers think silicon oxide circuits could be the foundation for next generation memory chips.
