A team of researchers in the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin has invented a method for producing inexpensive and high-performing wearable patches that can continuously monitor the body’s vital signs for human health and performance tracking, potentially outperforming traditional monitoring tools such as cardiac event monitors.
The eBeam Initiative, a forum dedicated to the education and promotion of new semiconductor manufacturing approaches based on electron beam (eBeam) technologies, today announced the completion of its fourth annual eBeam Initiative members' perceptions survey. A record 64 industry luminaries representing 35 different companies from across the semiconductor ecosystem—including chip design, equipment, materials and manufacturing as well as photomasks—participated in this year's survey.
A novel class of molecular motors that rotate in the same direction at high speeds upon exposure to sunlight have been developed. This novel behaviour holds promise in new nano-engineering applications.

A new study out of St. Mary’s College of Maryland puts us closer to do-it-yourself spray-on solar cell technology—promising third-generation solar cells utilizing a nanocrystal ink deposition that could make traditional expensive silicon-based solar panels a thing of the past.
Synopsys, Inc., today announced that TSMC is recognizing Synopsys with two "2015 Partner of the Year" awards for Interface IP and Joint Development of 10-nanometer (nm) FinFET Design Infrastructure.
The Full Service Foundry division of ams AG, a leading provider of high performance analog ICs and sensors, today announced a further expansion of its industry-leading 0.35µm High-Voltage CMOS specialty process platform. The advanced “H35” process provided by the High-Voltage process expert ams now includes a set of truly voltage scalable transistors offering significant area and performance improvements.
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. today announced that it received two TSMC Partner of the Year awards at this year’s TSMC Open Innovation Platform® (OIP) Ecosystem Forum. Cadence was presented with awards for both joint development of the 10nm FinFET design infrastructure and analog/mixed-signal IP.
TowerJazz, the global specialty foundry leader, and TowerJazz Panasonic Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (TPSCo), the leading analog foundry in Japan, today announced the development of the first 65nm millimeter wave (mmWave) 110GHz RFCMOS platform targeted for a variety of applications, such as wireless communication (60~77GHz), automotive radar (57~86, mostly 77GHz), and imaging and scanning (100GHz), among others.
Nanotechnology is taking its first steps. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart have developed a gold nanocylinder equipped with discrete DNA strands as ‘feet’ that can walk across a DNA origami platform. They are able to trace the movements of the nanowalker, which is smaller than the optical resolution limit, by exciting plasmons in the gold nanocylinder.
Severin Schneebeli, a chemist from the University of Vermont, has discovered a new way to use chirality – an asymmetric property in identical structures – to make a nanoscale wrench.
