Scientists uncovered rare hexagonal silicon forms (2H, 4H, 6H) created by stress and heat, challenging assumptions about this key electronic material.

Yooperlites are a variety of sodalite-rich syenite found in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Abstract: In this letter, degradation of polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin-film transistors (TFTs ... stress-induced dynamic HC degradation, a bridged-grain (BG) structure is applied to the ...

OxStu explores how the structure of glass makes it ubiquitous in everyday life and why we are still exploring its use.

Abstract: This paper studies parameters which affect the pore diameter of silicon membranes. The fabrication process starts with thinning the silicon substrate to get a membrane thickness of 8 μm. An ...

and silicon dioxide (SiO 2), which were purchased from Sigma Aldrich. SiO 2 (particles size of 44 µm and purity 99%) was mixed properly with MWCNTs (diameter range from 10 to 70 nm) in the ratio of ...
