Every smartphone sold in the U.S. comes with a lithium-ion battery, with few exceptions. To get one with a silicon-carbon ...

Medically reviewed by Kristie Reed, PharmD Silicon supplements may improve your bone, skin, hair, and nail health, but more research is needed.Silicon is used in food to prevent ingredients from ...

The LEEMONS project is researching nanostructured silicon that uses low-energy electron multiplication (LEEM) to allow one high-energy photon to generate multiple electrons, reducing energy losses in ...

Silicon nanotube arrays deliver functional mRNA into human pluripotent stem cells for the first time, achieving up to 64% transfection without compromising stem cell identity.

As I write this, we're right in the middle of fourth-generation Apple Silicon. The Cupertino house that Steve Jobs built took one of the biggest swings in tech history by pivoting to its own chips, ...

The previous solar efficiency record has now been broken, and this one could have ...

In the quest to coax more capacity from electric vehicle batteries, automakers are increasingly turning to silicon, a widely available but fragile ingredient that promises to boost capacity by at ...

Historically, making a thin phone meant trading the usual battery for one that's slimmer and less robust. And what good is a thin phone with poor battery life? Up-and-coming silicon-carbon battery ...

A scalable spray-drying method produces graphite, carbon nanotube, and silicon composite anodes that retain 95% capacity after 100 cycles in lithium-ion batteries.
