Researchers at the Jülich Research Center and the Leibniz Institute for Innovative Microelectronics (IHP) have developed a ...

Figure 3 – Model of a diamond structure superimposed on the artificial diamond structure (as in Figure 1). The red spheres indicate the atoms in the crystal lattice of diamond or silicon; the grey ...

The pores in the new three-dimensional structure resemble the crystal structure of diamonds. Crystalline silicon also has a diamond crystal structure. (see figure 3). Figure 3: computer generated ...

The application of inhomogeneous strain to silicon photonic structures may lead to new optically active devices based on second-order nonlinear processes.

Here we describe the design, fabrication and characterization of a planar, silicon-chip-based optomechanical crystal capable of co-localizing and strongly coupling 200-terahertz photons and 2 ...

Silicon is the 14th element on the Periodic Table -- but, from concrete to microchips to alien life, it has the capacity to be so much more.
