Thin Film Electronics ASA (“Thinfilm”), a leader in the development and commercialization of printed electronics and smart systems, today announced that it has joined the GSMA, the organization that represents the interests of mobile operators worldwide and hosts the annual Mobile World Congress conference.
Overheating is a major problem for the microprocessors that run our smartphones and computers. But a team of UCLA and USC scientists have made a breakthrough that should enable engineers to design microprocessors that minimize that problem: They have developed a thermal imaging technique that can "see" how the temperature changes from point to point inside the smallest electronic circuits.
Anyone who has ever toasted the top of their legs with their laptop or broiled their ear on a cell phone knows that microelectronic devices can give off a lot of heat. These devices contain a multitude of transistors, and although each one produces very little heat individually, their combined thermal output is significant and can damage the device.
Scientists have long been puzzled by the spin-field-effect transistor (spin FET) and great efforts have been put into attempt of solving the long challenged problems. Now a Tainan-based National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) research team has successfully developed the first spin FET.
A University of Texas at Arlington researcher will use an Army Research Office grant to purchase a micro-optics assembly and characterization system that will usher in more intricate nanoscale-related research and manufacturing in the College of Engineering.
Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin's Cockrell School of Engineering have created the first transistors made of silicene, the world’s thinnest silicon material. Their research holds the promise of building dramatically faster, smaller and more efficient computer chips.
IBM and SUNY Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Poly) today announced that more than 220 engineers and scientists who lead IBM’s advanced chip research and development efforts at SUNY Poly’s Albany Nanotech campus will become part of IBM Research, the technology industry’s largest and most influential research organization.
Dr. Yossef Elabd, professor in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University, has developed two fuel cell vehicle platforms for both present day enhancements and future innovation.
Applied Micro Circuits Corporation today announced the sampling of its 28-nanometer HeliXTM 2 embedded processor system-on-a-chip products. Launched in October 2014, AppliedMicro's HeliX™ family represents the first commercially available embedded processor SoCs based on the ARMv8-A 64-bit architecture.
Will it be possible one day to reconfigure electronic microchips however we want, even when they are in use? A recent discovery by a team at EPFL suggests as much. The researchers have demonstrated that it is possible to create conductive pathways several atoms wide in a material, to move them around at will and even to make them disappear. Their research is the subject of a recent article appearing in Nature Nanotechnology.
