MEMC Electronic Materials sinks after warning of weak chip demand
Filed under: Earnings reports, Stocks to Sell, TechnologyAfter the closing bell last night, silicon-wafer producer MEMC Electronic Materials (NYSE: WFR) offered a mid-quarter update that's sent the shares reeling into negative territory this morning. The report started auspiciously enough, as CEO Nabeel Gareeb noted that current production rates "could allow us to achieve results in the upper half of our […] read

Take That, Cancer!
If you thought the government was holding out the cure for cancer, you’re one sick puppy. Scientists at Boston University and Princeton have discovered that with a silicon wafer, they’re able to separate cancer cells from healthy cells. Like a crossing guard, the wafer sends the cells in different directions. Unfortunately this approach against cancer is [...] read

Silicon wafer directs and filters out cancer cells
[…] The device, created by some impressive souls at Princeton and Boston University, directs and focuses streams of cells in a liquid. Like a change sorter, it then separates regular cells form unusual ones. The silicon wafer is tacked with tiny pillars that catch abnormal cells that are, in the end, potentially cancerous. The device hasn't been used to any major extent, but we'll keep an eye on this promising discovery.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments read

Mitsubishi Electric achieves Worlds highest conversion efficiency rate of 18.6 percent in a 150-millimeter square multi-crystalline silicon solar cell
[…] efficiency rate of 18.6 percent in a 150-millimeter square practical use multi-crystalline silicon solar cell, an improvement of 0.6 percent over the companys previous record. In a 150-millimeter square practical-use multi-crystalline silicon solar cell, Mitsubishi Electric has achieved the worlds highest conversion efficiency rate of 18.6 percent by adding a low reflectivity surface texture on the multi-crystalline silicon wafer, by optimizing the p-n junction to increase electric... read

Steam battery - breath power calculator
[…] similarly to the steam battery. The most prominent is the "hot-point-probe" effect I suggested previously in the "Backscatter" column, in which a p-type or n-type silicon wafer generates a current between two probes when one is hot, and the other is cold. It's similar to the Seebeck effect, but a bit more complicated, since the current can flow in either direction depending on the type of wafer. Steam battery - breath power calculator - Link.
