Examples
-
Current through the contact point increased 10 percent: positive charges in the distilled water pulled the silicon's electrons to the surface, making more electrons flow and thus amplifying the current.

-
Progress was slow until the 2080s, when materials scientists developed Neurophos, a biocompatible substance with silicon's appetite for digital information.
-
The electrolytes changed the electrical properties of silicon's surface.
The Transistor 2008
-
The company is aiming this new part at tablets and "fanless" netbooks, form factors that highlight the silicon's low power consumption.

-
At that scale, the silicon's physical properties differ from those of a conventional wafer, allowing it to bend and stretch.
-
Using three silicon-embedded layers of photo detectors, stacked vertically to take advantage of silicon's ability to absorb red, green and blue light at different respective depths, it efficiently reproduces color more accurately, and offers sharper resolution, pixel for pixel, than any conventional image sensor.
-
The prototype plastic flash memory cannot match silicon's storage density, long-term stability, or number of rewrite cycles.
