A novel nanophotonic chip has veen developed by an Australian-based research team that would enable the nano-control of light. This would provide a better understanding of black holes and allow the development of advanced optical technologies.
A novel graphene-based microchip, developed by a group of researchers from EPFL and the University of Geneva (UNIGE), can eliminate unwanted radiation, enabling faster wireless data transmission.
For the first time, researchers from the University of Georgia (UGA) and Ben-Gurion University in Israel have illustrated the possibility to develop nanoscale electronic components from single DNA molecules. This latest discovery, featured in Nature Chemistry, marks a major improvement in the quest to find a suitable replacement for the silicon chip.
Scientists with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have taken a big step toward the practical application of “valleytronics,” which is a new type of electronics that could lead to faster and more efficient computer logic systems and data storage chips in next-generation devices.
Picosun Oy, the leading supplier of advanced ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) thin film coating technology, now provides ALD equipment to transform battery manufacturing.
Creating smaller components is a key factor in the race to develop compact smartphones and other handheld devices. There is an increasing demand for lighter and thinner microelectronic devices. However, manufacturers often have a limitation in the form of the oddly shaped energy sources, which pose challenges when trying to conform to the smaller space.
The more powerful the phone, the higher the demand on the battery. This can result in frequent charging, increasing the inconvenience for users and restricting the performance of the phone. A possible solution could be the development of new transistor materials that use less power, and prolong the battery’s life. One candidate materials is a piezoelectric material, which can change shape or become 'strained' after voltage is applied. This feature can be utilized to develop digital switches, which provide better speeds and low power consumption, along with a reduction in size.
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. today announced that its digital, signoff and custom/analog tools have achieved V1.0 Design Rule Manual (DRM) and SPICE certification from TSMC for its 10-nanometer (nm) FinFET process. Cadence and TSMC are also continuing to collaborate on the advancement of 7nm technologies and have completed tools certification and the delivery of the latest Process Design Kit (PDK) for mutual customers to initiate early design starts based on the most current version of the DRM and SPICE model.
A research study, conducted at the University of Arkansas (U of A), has demonstrated that temperature can be employed to considerably change the behavior of 2D materials, which are now being explored for use in next-generation electronic devices.
As intricate electronics continue to develop, tools are also needed to fix them. In anticipation of this challenge, and inspired by the human body’s immune system, scientists have developed self-propelled nanomotors that locate and repair tiny scratches in the electronics systems. This development can lead to electrodes, solar cells, flexible batteries, and other devices to heal themselves.
