Natural silicon is made up of three atoms of different mass (called isotopes) – silicon 28, 29 and 30. However the Si-29, making up around 5% of silicon, causes a ‘nuclear flip flopping’ effect ...

However, by combining isotope engineering in diamond with another wide-bandgap semiconductor, such as silicon carbide, it may be possible to develop electronic and optical devices that can work at ...

Naturally occurring Silicon has three isotopes – 28, 29 and 30. The 29 isotope has a ½ positive spin, which is an intrinsic form of angular momentum carried by elementary particles. In contrast ...

Both isotopes are urgently required; Silicon-28 to further advance next generation semiconductors and Yterrbium-176 to further advance oncology treatments that will improve patient outcomes.
