Newly developed halide perovskite nanocrystals (HPNCs) show potential as antimicrobial agents that are stable, effective and ...

The tube furnace proved itself up to the task by creating a thin layer of silicon dioxide on a scrap of silicon wafer. In the current work, [ProjectsInFlight] takes that initial success and builds ...

Silicon dioxide, commonly known as silicon or silica, is naturally found in foods and mineral water. It's also used in certain foods as an additive (with the code E551). Silicon dioxide can be ...

But although about 75% of the Earth is made from silica — or silicon dioxide (SiO 2), the main constituent of silicate minerals such as sand, quartzite or granite — elemental silicon itself is ...

Rice scientists Jun Lou and Yifan Zhu have developed a new method for producing halide perovskite nanocrystals that can kill ...

Small balls found in paper sachets often end up in packages with new shoes or suitcases. From a user's perspective, they play ...

An international group of scientists investigated the use of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) as an anti-reflection coating for polycrystalline silicon solar cells.

Scientists at Rice University have developed a special type of nanocrystal that can kill bacteria in water when exposed to ...
