520 This is a story about sand and how science and silicon
changed our lives. Over the last century, science taught
us how to take this most common material and create the
products on which we depend. It allows us to determine the
atomic structure of materials and to grow novel, new
materials atomic layer by atomic layer. The principles of
thermodynamics are used to transform sand into ultra pure
silicon. Quantum mechanics gave birth to the electronic
age and the computer chip in which dopants are precisely
placed in ultra pure silicon. The absorption and emission
and reflection of quanta of light, photons, underlies
solar cells, light emitting diodes, radiation detectors
and optical fibers. This book follows the history of these
scientific discoveries and relates them to the products
made from sand.
