Most solar cells are currently silicon based; however, their efficiency is limited. This has prompted researchers to examine new materials.

MIT researchers say cubic boron arsenide is the best semiconductor material ever found, and maybe the best possible one.

Silicon is one of the most abundant elements on Earth, and in its pure form the material has become the foundation of much of modern tech.

Computers that think more like human brains are inching closer to mainstream adoption. But many unanswered questions remain.

Silicon is one of Earth's most abundant elements, and in its pure form the material has become the foundation of much of modern technology.

Physicists find a way to make components for low-cost electronics using a material that’s highly rated for its performance in next-gen solar
