The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) announced on February 11, 2025, that community and environmental groups ...

Standard NAND flash storage is used in microSD cards, USB drives, and solid-state drives in computers and phones. To fit more gigabytes into smaller spaces, manufacturers ...

3D NAND flash memory is different from traditional single-layer NAND because it vertically stacks memory cells to cram more ...

The narrow, deep holes required for one type of flash memory are made twice as fast with the right recipe, which includes a plasma made from hydrogen fluoride.

Researchers from Lam Research, the University of Colorado Boulder, and Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) investigated ways to speed up the cryogenic reactive ion etching process for 3D NAND ...

To improve data storage, researchers are perfecting 3D NAND flash memory, which stacks cells to maximize space. Researchers ...

A few weeks ago, a fire broke out at the Moss Landing Power Plant in California, the world’s largest collection of batteries ...

The researchers compared results from this process to a more advanced cryo-etching process that uses hydrogen fluoride gas to create the plasma. “Cryo etch with the hydrogen fluoride plasma ...

This is a major concern because lithium battery fires can be toxic. "For lithium fires we worry about hydrogen fluoride, which is a chemical that's released from these fires. In small amounts ...

A plume of material released from the plant contained hydroflouride, a toxic gas, that is now being monitored by Monterey ...

A US Environmental Protection Agency representative says they are monitoring for hydrogen fluoride - the most harmful of chemicals that were produced by this fire - and particulates at this time.

After a massive lithium ion battery storage site exploded into flames in Monterey County — spewing toxic gases into the air ...
