Scientists see defects in potential new semiconductor
Dec 09, 2019 (SPX)
The study, published earlier this month in the journal Physical Review X, shows a fundamental aspect of how the semiconductor, beta gallium oxide, controls elec...
A platform for stable quantum computing, a playground for exotic physics
Dec 09, 2019 (SPX)
Let's start with the basics. Topological insulators are materials that can conduct electricity on their surface or edge but not in the middle. The strange thing...
Armored with plastic 'hair' and silica, new perovskite nanocrystals show more durability
Nov 30, 2019 (SPX)
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have demonstrated a novel approach aimed at addressing the material's durability problem: encasing the perovs...
Toward more efficient computing, with magnetic waves
Nov 30, 2019 (SPX)
Classical computers rely on massive amounts of electricity for computing and data storage, and generate a lot of wasted heat. In search of more efficient altern...
End of an era as Japan's Panasonic exits chip business
Nov 28, 2019 (AFP)
It marks the end for a once iconic Japanese business, with Panasonic seen as a global chipmaking powerhouse in the 1980s and 1990s. The Japanese conglomerate sa...
A record-setting transistor
Nov 27, 2019 (SPX)
That's what Yuping Zeng, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Delaware, aims to discover. She and a team of researche...
Scientists find surprising quantum effect in an exotic superconductor
Nov 25, 2019 (SPX)
Superconductors conduct electricity without resistance, making them valuable for long-distance electricity transmission and many other energy-saving application...
Study probes relationship between strange metals and high-temperature superconductors
Nov 22, 2019 (SPX)
Both are rule-breakers. Strange metals don't behave like regular metals, whose electrons act independently; instead their electrons behave in some unusual colle...
Powering future optical microsystems with chip-scale integrated photonics
Nov 22, 2019 (SPX)
Photonic integrated circuits (PICs), which combine many photonic elements onto a single chip, have also transformed the way lasers and other optical systems are...
New 'synthetic' method for making microchips could help
Nov 19, 2019 (SPX)
By using specially-treated silicon surfaces to tailor the crystals' size and shape, the researchers have found a potentially faster and less expensive way to pr...
HP rejects takeover bid from Xerox
Nov 18, 2019 (AFP)
But the HP board said it still would like to discuss the possibility of reaching a deal with its rival, a venerable US tech company best known for its photocopy...
Stretchable, degradable semiconductors
Nov 15, 2019 (SPX)
However, introducing these properties to electronics has been challenging. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Central Science have developed stretchable, degrada...
Large scale integrated circuits produced in printing press
Nov 12, 2019 (SPX)
"This is a decisive step for a technology that was born at Linkoping University just over 17 years ago. The result shows that we are again leading the field, th...
A distinct spin on atomic transport
Nov 11, 2019 (SPX)
In this way defining phenomena occuring in mesoscopic electronic systems can be studied in great detail, not least quantized conductance. In a pair of papers pu...
Xerox eyes deal for PC maker HP: reports
Nov 06, 2019 (AFP)
The Wall Street Journal and CNBC reported that the photocopy machine pioneer was mulling a cash-and-stock offer, although nothing had been agreed. A tie-up woul...
High performance electrical circuits made with 3D-printed plastics
Nov 06, 2019 (SPX)
They used pulses of high-energy light to fuse tiny silver wires, resulting in circuits that conduct 10 times more electricity than the state of the art, accordi...
Antimony holds promise for post-silicon electronics
Nov 05, 2019 (SPX)
In 1965, Gordon Moore, founder of Intel, predicted the number of transistors that could fit on a computer chip would double every two years, while the cost of c...
Scientists tame Josephson vortices
Nov 01, 2019 (SPX)
A Josephson vortex is a vortex of currents occurring in a system of two superconductors separated by a weak link - a dielectric, a normal metal, etc. - in the p...
NTU Singapore researchers create quantum chip 1,000 times smaller than current setups
Nov 01, 2019 (SPX)
Most leading security standards used in secure communication methods - from withdrawing cash from the ATM to purchasing goods online on the smartphone - does no...
