The tube furnace proved itself up to the task by creating a thin layer of silicon dioxide on a scrap of silicon wafer. In the current work, [ProjectsInFlight] takes that initial success and builds ...

a Big brands are paying startup Vaulted Deep $58.3 million to shoot poop and other organic waste products into underground ...

Researchers have shown that silicon dioxide nanoparticles coated with a high dielectric constant polymer might inexpensively provide improved cooling for electronic devices. Shown (l-r ...

Chemically, quartz is nearly pure silicon dioxide (SiO 2). When there are no impurities, pure quartz is water-clear and often referred to as “rock crystal”. Impurities can give transparent ...

If there's one thing that needs to be antibacterial, it's the public touchscreen displays that everyone paws at with their filthy fingers. Well, help is on the way, in the form of a newly developed ...

But although about 75% of the Earth is made from silica — or silicon dioxide (SiO 2), the main constituent of silicate minerals such as sand, quartzite or granite — elemental silicon itself is ...

Ceramic coating your vehicle means applying a liquid polymer, primarily made of silicon dioxide, to your car's exterior, ...

The purest of these chain-like materials is silicon dioxide - silica - found quite commonly in nature as the colourless mineral quartz or rock crystal. In good, crystalline quartz, the chains are ...

It is no coincidence that some of best chip makers in the world also have long traditions of wax tie-dye, which requires ...

This is then coated with a layer of silicon dioxide -- kind of a silicon rust, which doesn't conduct electricity. On top of this is placed a chemical called photoresist. Flashing a pattern of ...
