There’s hardly a moment in modern life that doesn’t involve electronic devices, whether they’re guiding you to a destination by GPS or deciding which incoming messages merit a beep, ring or vibration. But our expectation that the next shopping season will inevitably offer an upgrade to more-powerful gadgets largely depends on size – namely, the ability of the industry to shrink transistors so that more can fit on ever-tinier chip surfaces.
MIT engineers have created a new polymer film that can generate electricity by drawing on a ubiquitous source: water vapor.
By showing that tiny particles injected into a liquid crystal medium behave as predicted by existing mathematical theorems, physicists have opened the door for the creation of a host of new materials with properties that do not exist in nature.
The nighttime twinkling of fireflies has inspired scientists to modify a light-emitting diode (LED) so it is more than one and a half times as efficient as the original. Researchers from Belgium, France, and Canada studied the internal structure of firefly lanterns, the organs on the bioluminescent insects' abdomens that flash to attract mates.
Mattson Technology, Inc., a leading supplier of advanced process equipment used to manufacture semiconductors, today announced that it has shipped its Helios® XP rapid thermal processing (RTP) system to a fourth major foundry customer. The Helios XP will be used for the volume production and development of next-generation chips at leading-edge technology nodes.
The Interoperable PDK Libraries (IPL) Alliance announced today that United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC), a leading global semiconductor foundry in Taiwan, has joined the IPL Alliance, a standards organization whose...
Liquipel LLC, the sole owner and licensor of the Liquipel technology, announced today new scientific breakthroughs in nanotechnology protection, dubbing them "Liquipel 2.0." The science behind Liquipel 2.0 represents significant advancements in durability, corrosion resistance and water protection. Extensive company testing has shown Liquipel 2.0 to be up to 100 times more effective than its predecessor, Liquipel 1.0, while maintaining component integrity and RF sensitivity.
The NIMS International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA), in joint research with the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), succeeded in developing an on-demand-type device which possesses a diverse range of functions, including those of a diode, switch, capacitor, brain-type memory device, in a single device, and realizes the new concept of enabling switching of those functions in response to the user’s needs.
Lilliputian Systems, Inc., a developer of portable power products for consumer electronics, and Brookstone, a multichannel lifestyle specialty retailer and product development company, announced today the launch of Nectar™, a revolutionary Mobile Power System that will fundamentally transform the way in which consumers keep their increasingly power-hungry mobile devices charged. Lilliputian Systems also announced today that Nectar Mobile Power System has been awarded the prestigious Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Innovations Award for Design and Engineering in the Portable Power category.
Finetech will showcase the sub-micron placement accuracy FINEPLACER® Lambda bonder in Booth #4626 at the upcoming SPIE Photonics West exhibition, scheduled for February 5-7, 2013 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA.
