A team of researchers from France’s CNRS (National Centre for Scientific Research) has developed a groundbreaking method for recycling silicone waste—offering a new way to reduce environmental damage ...

Now, a team of researchers at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) have devised a strategy to turn ...

SiTime’s MEMS timing technology is built on silicon, offering several advantages over quartz. “Silicon is batch-processed, ...

It has the potential to significantly reduce the sector's environmental impacts. This is the first universal recycling process that brings any type of used silicone material back to an earlier state ...

Silica is naturally occurring in stones such as granite, porcelain and marble at between 5 and 40 per cent. However, in ...

A study conducted by CNRS researchers describes a new method of recycling silicone waste (caulk, sealants, gels, adhesives, cosmetics, etc.). It has the potential to significantly reduce the sector's ...

Chemically, quartz is nearly pure silicon dioxide (SiO 2). When there are no impurities, pure quartz is water-clear and often referred to as “rock crystal”. Impurities can give transparent ...

Manufacturing solar panels is a dirty process from start to finish. Mining quartz for silicon causes the lung disease silicosis, and the production of solar cells uses a lot of energy, water ...

The global silicon metal market size was $6.3 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $8.9 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2020 to 2027. Silicon metal is an industrial additive ...
