Sentences with phrase «rather than silicon»

Organic TFT uses polymers rather than silicon, and so allows for more flexible materials.

The system the researchers tested used a type of solar cell known as dye - sensitized solar cells, a lightweight and inexpensive type where the active layer is composed of titanium dioxide, rather than the silicon used in conventional solar cells.

Not exact matches

* Note: If you don't have a silicon loaf pan, a regular bread pan will do, however, I recommend combining the ingredients in a bowl rather than the bread pan, and coating the pan with some coconut oil or lining with parchment paper (which makes for easy lifting of the bread) before pouring in the dough.

And the U.S. may yet do more: 1366 is working on a machine roughly the size of a dishwasher that will convert molten pure silicon directly into wafers for photovoltaics, rather than employing the process of sawing wafers from purified silicon logs as is commonly done today.

Rather than making transistors from conventional silicon wafers, they slice the material into sheets several times thinner than a human hair.

Rather, they analyzed microscopic silicon carbide, SiC, dust grains that formed in supernovae more than 4.6 billion years ago and were trapped in meteorites as our Solar System formed from the ashes of the galaxy's previous generations of stars.

Unlike the silicon chips inside conventional computers, the Bristol team's chip uses light rather than electricity.

For instance, the Lexington, Mass. — based 1366 Technologies received funds to develop its «monocrystalline equivalent» wafers that are formed directly from melted silicon rather than sawed from a block, which wastes as much as half of the semiconducting material.

One goal of the research led by Savin is to find ways to produce equally efficient solar cells using the less expensive but impure silicon rather than the more expensive purified silica.

Rather than compete with silicon solar panels for space on sunny rooftops and in open fields, perovskites could also bring solar energy to totally new venues.

In this experiment, Drndić and her colleagues worked with a different material — silicon nitride — rather than attempting to craft single - atom - thick graphene membranes for nanopores.

Once the pores have formed, current flow, and therefore etching, mainly takes place through the bottom of the pores rather than into the silicon between pores, so they stay roughly the same width but get deeper.

And it wasn't the only challenge; other fixes include making gates out of metal, connecting transistors with copper rather than aluminum wires, and using «strained» rather than ordinary silicon for the channel between source and drain.

An international team of scientists has discovered a new type of silicon that could be used to control light beams in a new kind of photonic chip — a chipset where information is carried by light beams rather than electrical currents.

There's more cooling all around the engine and on some detail bits inside: the oil cooler is now water - cooled rather than air - cooled, there are oil channels in the pistons and the valves are silicon - filled, all for better heat dissipation.

But rather than having to raise tens of millions of dollars from a venture firm or have a massive production system in place, SiFive's goal is to help get that piece of silicon in the hands of the developer quickly so they can see if it actually works based off a set of basic hardware and IP offered, and then figure out when and how to move it into full - scale production.

But SiFive hopes to serve a wide array of varying needs rather than mass - producing a single style of silicon.

Imagine that rather than having a programmer's intentions written into a robot's silicon substrate, we instead have a group of people physically carrying out the identical set of decisions and procedures.

Dell likely made the choice to opt for Intel's technology rather than a competing chip from rival Qualcomm based on its long - standing relationship with the silicon maker — after all, Intel's Bay Trail processors are what powers Dell's other line of tablets, its Windows 8 - powered two - in - ones.

You see I want something that is fitness oriented and rugged (Gorilla Glass and IP67 sweat / water resistant, thermal elastomer silicon vulcanite construction)- rather than a fashion statement.

This must be new territory for Fossil, having their latest watch evaluated by what pieces of silicon are under - the - hood, rather than its movement.
