Now M.I.T. researchers have come up with a new cladding made out of silicon carbide.

现在麻学院研究者研究出一种由硅制成新型合金。

Instead of using transistors made from pure silicon, those employed by these chips are made from silicon carbide, which is more robust.

这些芯片使用晶体管由更坚固硅而非纯硅制成。

Chipmakers hope gradually to replace the silicon used in most processors with gallium nitride or silicon carbide, both of which can handle higher voltages.

芯片制造商希望逐步用氮镓硅取代大多数处器中使用硅，这两种材料都可以处更高电压。

The reactors use " tristructural isotropic particle fuel" , in which blobs of fissile uranium (along with oxygen and carbon) are wrapped in layers of carbon and silicon carbide.

反应堆使用了“三结构各向同性颗粒燃料”，其可裂变铀（以及氧和）斑点被包裹在和硅层中。
