A novel crystalline form of silicon could enable next-gen electronic and energy devices – Tech Explorist
A team led by Carnegie’s Thomas Shiell and Timothy Strobel developed a new method for synthesizing a novel crystalline form of silicon with a hexagonal structure…
Silicon plays an outsized role in human life. It is the second most abundant element in the Earth’s crust. When mixed with different components, it is fundamental for many construction and infrastructure projects. Furthermore, it is sufficiently pivotal to registering that the longstanding technological hub of the U.S. California’s Silicon Valley in pure elemental form.
Like all components, silicon can take different crystalline forms, called allotropes. Similarly, soft graphite and super-hard diamond…
