Synthesis of silicon oxides opens 'new world in a grain of sand'
Athens GA (SPX) May 03, 2015 - In an effort that reaches back to the 19th-century laboratories of Europe, a discovery by University of Georgia chemistry researchers establishes new research possibilities for silicon chemistry and the semiconductor industry. The study, published in the journal Nature Chemistry, gives details on the first time chemists have been able to trap molecular species of silicon oxides. Using a te ... more
