A new technical paper titled “Polycrystalline silicon PhC cavities for CMOS on-chip integration” was published by researchers at Tyndall National Institute, Munster Technological University, and ...

Prof. YE Jichun's team from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), along with researchers from Soochow University, have ...

A team used an artificial intelligence (AI) to predict the orientation of crystal grains much faster than existing technologies. Since polycrystal materials are used in most electronic devices, this ...

An international group of scientists investigated the use of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) as an anti-reflection coating for polycrystalline silicon solar cells. “The primary ...

When opting to use solar panels as a power source for your home or business, the choices tend to revolve around where to place them and how big they should be. But there's at least one more decision ...

Since silicon is the third most abundant element on Earth (after iron and oxygen), it is undoubtedly a readily accessible raw material. It is a significant component of solar cells and electronic ...

Solar panels are mostly made of silicon, which derives from sand. Here's how that abundant substance is transformed into something that generates electricity. If you're looking to install a solar ...

A newly developed metasurface-based silicon antireflective coating combines rectangular and cylindrical meta-atom geometries. The metasurface achieves just 5 percent reflection, compared to ~50 ...
