Diopside, a calcium-magnesium silicate, is classified as having short prismatic crystals that take on a different appearance when viewed from different angles.

We demonstrate an all-solid Nd 3+ -doped silicate photonic crystal fiber with 13.1 W output power at 1061 nm and 64.5% slope efficiency. We also theoretically investigate and prove the effects of ...

Silicon is the backbone of the semiconductor industry, but it's also interesting in its own right. Here's why it's so important in modern computing—and in many other applications.

According to a study published in the Chemical Engineering Journal, scientists at Tokyo Tech discovered that encapsulating copper nanoparticles within hydrophobic porous silicate crystals ...

Encapsulating copper nanoparticles within hydrophobic porous silicate crystals has been shown by scientists at Tokyo Tech to significantly enhance the catalytic activity of copper-zinc oxide ...
