Sensor device converts signatures into LEDs
16 August, 2013 by John ToonResearchers at Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a sensor device that converts a signature or a fingerprint directly into light signals that can be captured and processed optically.
Next-gen, nanoscale transistors for integrated electronics
14 August, 2013The Nano3 cleanroom facility at the Qualcomm Institute in the US now houses a new electron beam writer. But what’s unique about this writer is its ability to write patterns on a large scale - with minimum feature size of less than 8 nanometres on wafers with diameters that can be as large as 8 inches.
Speed limit set for ultrafast electrical switch
12 August, 2013Researchers have clocked the fastest-possible electrical switching in magnetite, a naturally magnetic mineral. Their results could drive innovations in the tiny transistors that control the flow of electricity across silicon chips, enabling faster, more powerful computing devices.
u-blox and Intel HSPA modules
12 August, 2013u-blox is collaborating with Intel Corporation to bring a small, cost-effective 3G-only HSPA module to the market. Based on Intel’s XMM 6255 HSPA modem platform, the chipset will be packaged in a compact, low-cost module that maintains layout compatibility with u-blox’s SARA 2G and LISA 3G module series.

Light absorption in 2D semiconductors
05 August, 2013Working with ultrathin membranes of the semiconductor indium arsenide, researchers have discovered a quantum unit of photon absorption that should be general to all 2D semiconductors. This discovery not only provides new insight into the optical properties of 2D semiconductors and quantum wells, it should also open doors to exotic new optoelectronic and photonic technologies.
Giving lighting customers what they need
02 August, 2013 by Paul Golata* | Supplied by: Mouser ElectronicsOver the past decade, LEDs have had an explosive growth in general lighting applications. LEDs offer great advantages over traditional lighting sources that include reliability, long life, reduced power consumption, small size, high efficacy and a high degree of design flexibility. LED manufacturers have been working diligently to increase creative design possibilities for customers, adapting products by incorporating a variety of packaging options. This article examines three major categories that play a key role in meeting customer demands for lighting.
Creating self-integrated electronic circuits from nanowires
02 August, 2013Much effort has gone into facilitating the self-assembly of semiconductors, the basic building blocks of electronics, but until recently, success has been limited. Scientists had developed methods for growing semiconductor nanowires vertically on a surface, but the resultant structures were short and disorganised.
New supercomputer has the power of 56,000 computers
01 August, 2013Australia’s most powerful computer, Raijin, can perform the same number of calculations in one hour that every one of the 7 billion humans on Earth, armed with calculators, could perform in 20 years.
