A team of engineers at Fudan University has successfully designed, built and run a 32-bit RISC-V microprocessor that uses ...

Silicon (Si) is a metalloid, element number 14 on the periodic table. Like carbon, silicon has four bonding sites, but silicon is more than twice as heavy as carbon. The high melting point of ...

Scientists have coaxed life to do something it has never done before: bond silicon to carbon. You're probably already familiar with a few products products that use carbon-silicon, or ...

Aluminum nitride (AlN) and silicon carbide (SiC) are both high-performance engineering ceramic materials, but there is a ...

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...

silicones (which feature silicon–oxygen and silicon–carbon bonds) have found extensive applications as greases, resins, rubbers and sealants; silica, in the form of sand, is also a basic ...

A silicon atom has four electrons in its outer shell and bonds tightly with four surrounding silicon atoms creating a crystal matrix with eight electrons in the outer shells. However, phosphorus ...

A new technical paper titled “A Comparative Study on Various Au Wire Rinse Compositions and Their Effects on the Electronic Flame-Off Errors of Wire-Bonding Semiconductor Package” was published by ...
