X-Message-Number: 15343 From: "John de Rivaz" <> Subject: new form of silicon Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2001 11:47:45 -0000 This article, unfortunately, is not on the New Scientist web site, but is in the printed edition this week. > Tall, dark and stranger > > A forest of silicon spikes could revolutionise solar cells and give you painless injections. Bruce > Schechter peers into the mysterious world of black silicon. It details a new form of silicon that has uses in extremely high efficiency photo cells and sensors, but there are also medical applications such as the introduction of drugs. Worth taking a look if you can find a printed edition as it may be of use somehow for cryonics. -- Sincerely, John de Rivaz my homepage links to Longevity Report, Fractal Report, music, Inventors' report, an autobio and various other projects: http://www.geocities.com/longevityrpt http://www.autopsychoice.com - should you be able to chose autopsy?
