Three-year-long experiments conducted at China’s Tiangong space station have resulted in the groundbreaking niobium alloy.

It melts at 1410 C. The electronic configuration of the silicon atom is: (Ne)(3s) 2 (3p) 2, and the atomic radius is 0.132 nm. Silicon has the diamond cubic crystal structure with a lattice parameter ...

to create polycrystalline silicon (polysilicon), a very pure silicon with multiple single-crystal regions of different sizes and orientations. The polysilicon is used to "grow" a single-crystal ...

Pure silicon is not conductive. However, it can be made conductive by adding other elements to its crystalline structure, which then become known as "n-type" or "p-type" silicon. N-type silicon is ...

Scientists in the Netherlands proposed a new testing scheme for recycling silicon from end-of-life photovoltaic panels. Their ...

As neutrons pass through a crystal, they create two different standing waves – one along atomic planes and one between them. The interaction of these waves affects the path of the neutron ...
