The antimony cat is embedded inside a silicon quantum chip, similar to the ones we have in our computers and mobile phones, but adapted to give access to the quantum state of a single atom.

Monocrystalline silicon is used in the photovoltaic cells that some solar panels use to convert sunlight into electricity. Another form, amorphous silicon, is used to make the glass that covers ...

For instance, Taipei has pressured TSMC to keep most of its advanced manufacturing nodes on the island, given its perceived importance in enabling Taiwan’s “silicon shield,” protecting against China’s ...

The new approach, called coherently controlled quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy, could form the basis for highly sensitive real-time sensors for applications such as environmental ...

REC Silicon announced in late December that it was shutting down its Moses Lake plant, which opened in 1984, that manufactures silane gas. It earlier had stopped making polysilicon after it failed ...

Nvidia and TSMC have developed a silicon photonics-based chip prototype, according to a recent report from the Taiwanese press. Silicon photonics merges photonic circuits with traditional ...

Raman Srivastava was named CEO designate of Insight Investment, succeeding long-serving CEO Abdallah Nauphal when he retires later this year. Nauphal is retiring after 17 years at the helm of the ...
