But when the task at hand is growing oxide layers on silicon chips in preparation for making your own integrated circuits, it turns out that the old Mark 1 eyeball is all you need. Alert readers ...

The video below shows his two-step process, which first blasts the silicon oxide layer off the wafer before doping with the laser shining through a bath of phosphoric acid. The process is ...

A research group from Singapore has offered to reuse silicon from end-of-life photovoltaics in high-performance thermoelectric devices that convert heat into electricity. “Our method can be ...

With simple molecular tweaking, researchers have converted a common chemical waste product, triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO), into an electrolyte material suitable for use in batteries connected to ...

Researchers in India have demonstrated a wet chemical process to recover silicon with high purity from ... circular economy-driven waste-to-wealth strategy for managing the globally growing ...

Usually pure silicon oxide, the i3N team swapped in a very thin sheet of paper 3. “I thought there was a very low probability it would work,” she says. “We were really happy when it did.” ...

The waste molecule, triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO), is produced in the manufacture of products like vitamin tablets. A new process discovered by scientists at Northwestern University in the US ...
