Organic field-effect transistors successfully miniaturised
Engineers have developed a monolayer organic semiconductor layer for organic field-effect transistors, enabling the devices to be reduced in size without downgrading their performance. [ + ]
How to achieve maximum performance for your conformal coatings process
Phil Kinner discusses a plethora of coating topics to ensure you get the most from your coating process. [ + ]
Lowest ever noise levels recorded for qubits
The level of charge noise in semiconductor qubits has been a critical obstacle to achieving the accuracy levels needed for large-scale error-corrected quantum computers. [ + ]
Electronic blood vessels implanted in rabbits
Researchers have developed electronic blood vessels that can be actively tuned to address subtle changes in the body after implantation. [ + ]
The secret of big digital chip design is all in the NoC
Without an NoC, a chip could need up to 10 times more memory to operate without latency, which would be uneconomical. [ + ]
Electrically driven 'topological' laser developed
The electrically driven 'topological' laser has the ability to route light particles around corners — and to cope with defects in the manufacture of the device. [ + ]
The chicken or the egg? The box or the PCB?
If the enclosure is thoroughly thought about and planned for at the early stages of the design cycle instead of the end, time and money will be saved. [ + ]
MEMS and sensors for autonomous automotive applications
How will MEMS and sensors enable the evolution of the automotive industry? Davide Bruno explains how we're edging closer to a future of fully autonomous vehicles. [ + ]
Manufacturing in the new normal
Just like society as a whole, manufacturers are experiencing a lot of additional challenges they didn't expect, and to top it all many are facing reduced budgets. [ + ]
How facial recognition technology benefits and harms us
Ever since the growth of facial recognition technology (FRT), the world's been cautiously optimistic about the benefits it brings to the table. [ + ]
Electronic implants could restore sight to the blind
A cortical vision device could one day help restore sight to the blind, thanks to the use of miniaturised, wireless electronic implants that sit on the surface of the brain. [ + ]
Industry 4.0: edge computing power is key
Edge computing used in conjunction with cloud computing is becoming an increasingly indispensable element of the burgeoning Industry 4.0 concept. [ + ]
Faster and faster, further and further
Electric vehicle manufacturers are competing with shorter charging times and longer ranges — but this procedure is anything but beneficial for the service life of a vehicle. [ + ]
Quantum network paves way for safer online communication
The world is one step closer to having a totally secure internet and a solution to the growing problem of cyber attacks. [ + ]
Biomorphic batteries could provide more energy for robots
Similar to how biological fat reserves store energy in animals, a new rechargeable zinc battery integrates into the structure of a robot to provide much more energy. [ + ]
