In addition, the porous silicon oxide also allowed Tour's team to eliminate the need for a "device edge structure." "That means we can take a sheet of porous silicon oxide and just drop down ...

Oxides contain at least one oxygen atom, and silicon oxide may refer to silicon dioxide (SiO 2) or silicon monoxide (SiO). Silicon dioxide is a hard, glassy mineral found in materials such as rock, ...

(Nanowerk News) A Rice University laboratory pioneering memory devices that use cheap, plentiful silicon oxide to store data has pushed them a step further with chips that show the technology's ...

Shrinking computers, faster phones, and smarter gadgets all rely on one tiny component: the transistor. Invented in the 20th century, it’s what powers nearly every modern electronic device.

There has been much research on the fabrication of nanochannels using local oxidation and consequent etching of silicon surfaces. Although this technique has been extensively demonstrated, it has the ...

The first purely silicon oxide-based "resistive RAM" memory chip that can operate in ambient conditions -- opening up the possibility of new super-fast memory -- has now been developed. The first ...
