Over 90% is consumed for the production of silicon-containing chemicals and alloys. Aluminium-rich alloys, for example, are commonly used in the automobile industry; silicones (which feature ...

Apple introduced the first Apple silicon Macs back in 2020, marking the start of its transition away from Intel's chips. Apple's custom chips are Arm-based and are similar to the A-series chips ...

But that’s where silicon photonics — the technology that uses light, instead of electricity, to transmit data — comes in. With silicon photonics, replacing copper with optical fibers ...

Researchers in India have demonstrated a wet chemical process to recover silicon with high purity from end-of-life solar panels, which they used to make functionalized silica nanoparticles.
