The importance of characterising the atomic structure of the silicon / silicon dioxide interface as an essential component in highly integrated circuits has steadily increased as a result of ...

Using JSC's JUQUEEN supercomputer, University of Cologne researchers were able to simulate the structure of silicon dioxide at a variety of different pressures. The image shows how the the shape and ...

At the University of Minnesota, a team led by Andreas Stein has developed a new process for the production of nanoscopic cubes and spheres of silicon dioxide. The researchers report their trick in the ...
