Silicon-based well

Fig. 16 (A) Silicon-based well, which will hold a cultured neuron. The canopy contains tunnels through which neural processes can extend. The bottom of the well is a gold electrode. Scale bar. 20 p.m. [134] (B) Schematic of a neuron loaded into the well [136]. (C) Neuron wells on tm impltmtable probe [135] Reproduced with permission...

SOI Silicon on Insulator material is today s most advanced Silicon-based substrate technology it is basically Silicon material with an integrated insulation layer underneath a single crystal Si layer. It combines most of the advantages of the most well established Silicon technology with high radiation, media and temperature compatibility.

From the large number of papers dealing with silicone-based breast implants, a well-referenced review on the scientific considerations regarding a silicone syndrome, 531 supplemented with a few other recent papers, can... 

On the basis of the results described here, extension of these syntheses to higher generations, as well as work aimed at more detailed studies with respect to the electrochemical properties and valuable applications of these silicon-based ferro-cenyl dendrimers, clearly represent interesting areas of future research. 

Science fiction books and television shows have fueled the life-form debate by creating a number of imaginary, silicon-based creatures. The Horta, perhaps one of the most well-known creatures, first appeared in 1967 on an episode of the original Star Trek series. These intelligent, silicon-based life forms looked a little like burnt marshmallows, yet intelligently defended their store of eggs against the unaware human invaders.
