Scientists at Rice University, in collaboration with Lockheed Martin, are working on next-generation battery technology, reporting the creation of a silicon-based anode that easily achieves…
A team of scientists has created flexible electronic components that will dissolve inside the body or in water. These components could be used to make…
By detaching a freestanding macroporous silicon film from the underlying bulk silicon and combining it with pyrolyzed polyacrylonitrile, researchers have found a way to make…
A team of engineers have developed a glucose fuel cell fabricated from silicon and consisting of a platinum catalyst that strips electrons from glucose, mimicking…
By using a pattern of tiny inverted pyramids etched into the surface of silicon, engineers at MIT found a new technique for building silicon solar…
Graphene is the thinnest known material. In fact according to a new study, it is so thin that it is essentially invisible to water when…
