To make such a virus-slaying surface, its designers subjected a silicon wafer to ionic bombardment using specialized equipment at the Melbourne Center for Nanofabrication.

Renesas launches the Gen IV Plus platform with three new high-voltage 650-V GaN FETs for AI data centers and server power ...

Microsoft and its OEM partners are poised to announce a crop of new Arm-based laptops. Can those devices really compete with Apple's mature M-series designs?

Converting sunlight into electricity is the task of photovoltaic solar cells, but nearly half the light that reaches a flat silicon solar cell surface is lost to reflection. While traditional ...

A PowerColor RX 9070 XT Hellhound was found to have defective silicon out of the factory, resulting in unsustainable hotspot temperatures that caused the GPU to overheat and throttle.

German scientists have investigated the role of surface texturing in perovskite-silicon tandem cells and have found that several new processes offer the ability to etch smaller, more uniform ...

A revised method to create hydrophobic surfaces has implications for any technology where water meets a solid surface, from optics and microfluidics to cooking.

Researchers developed an effective antireflective coating for silicon solar cells using a single-layer silicon metasurface designed through forward and AI-enhanced inverse design. The ...

In this case, the process involved spraying the silicon surface with a chemical known as octyltrichlorosilane to create the liquid-like surface.

It is well known that when silicon evaporates from silicon carbide crystal surfaces, the carbon-rich surface crystallizes to produce graphene multilayers. The first graphitic layer to form on the ...

Researchers in Saudi Arabia have built a perovskite-silicon tandem cell with textured silicon wafers to offer superior light trapping. The device has an open-circuit voltage of 1,851 mV, a short ...
