DNA-like material could bring even smaller transistors
Feb 11, 2020 (SPX)
A material shaped like a one-dimensional DNA helix might further push the limits on a transistor's size. The material comes from a rare earth element called tel...
Rare-earth element material could produce world's smallest transistors
Feb 11, 2020 (SPX)
Computer chips use billions of tiny switches called transistors to process information. The more transistors on a chip, the faster the computer. A project at Pu...
Engineers mix and match materials to make new stretchy electronics
Feb 11, 2020 (SPX)
Now a process developed by MIT engineers may be the key to manufacturing flexible electronics with multiple functionalities in a cost-effective way. The process...
T-MUSIC selects performers to develop integrated mixed-mode RF electronics in onshore foundries
Feb 07, 2020 (SPX)
This technology supports critical communications, radar, and electronic warfare (EW) capabilities, as well as being widely used to support commercial telecommun...
A quantum of solid
Feb 03, 2020 (SPX)
An exciting next step is to extend this level of quantum control to solid state objects. In contrast to atomic clouds, the density of a solid is a billion times...
NRL researchers' golden touch enhances quantum technology
Jan 30, 2020 (SPX)
"We never expected these atomically thin materials could influence the ordering of all of the atoms in such a relatively large slab of gold," said Jeremy Robins...
Coupled quantum dots may offer a new way to store quantum information
Jan 30, 2020 (SPX)
Unlike a classical computer, which relies on binary bits that have just one of two fixed values - "1" or "0" - to store memory, a quantum computer would store a...
Dutch tech firm caught in US-China row
Jan 17, 2020 (AFP)
ASML has been waiting since June for Dutch government approval to deliver one of its machines to an unnamed Chinese client amid US concerns that the "highly sen...
Generation and manipulation of spin currents for advanced electronic devices
Jan 15, 2020 (SPX)
The work has been led by ICREA Prof. Sergio O. Valenzuela, head of the ICN2 Physics and Engineering of Nanodevices Group. The first authors are L. Antonio Benit...
Nano antennas for data transfer
Jan 13, 2020 (SPX)
After all, almost all Internet-based communication utilises optical light communication. Directional antennas for light could be used to exchange data between d...
Growing strained crystals could improve performance of perovskite electronics
Jan 10, 2020 (SPX)
Engineering a small amount of strain in perovskites is of great interest because it provides a way to make significant changes in the material's properties, suc...
New method gives robust transistors
Jan 08, 2020 (SPX)
The achievement is the result of a close collaboration between scientists at Linkoping University and SweGaN, a spin-off company from materials science research...
In leap for quantum computing, silicon quantum bits establish a long-distance relationship
Dec 30, 2019 (SPX)
Until now, this has been the situation for the bits of hardware that make up a silicon quantum computer, a type of quantum computer with the potential to be che...
Computing with molecules: A big step in molecular spintronics
Dec 30, 2019 (SPX)
Molecular spintronics aims for the ultimate step towards miniaturization of spintronics by striving to actively control the spin states of individual molecules....
