What in the World is Black Silicon?
===========================

Question: What happens when you push silicon with a little sulfur hexafluoride and a high-powered laser?

Answer: You get a new material called Black Silicon that's 100 and 500 times more sensitive to light--including, believe it or not, infrared. The people that found it accidentally has formed a company called SiOnyx with $11 million in venture financing. Uses: night vision and digital cameras and medical imaging and maybe even solar cells.
