Triple-Gate transistor from research to development

25 June, 2003

Intel has announced details of its 'tri-gate' transistor design, stating that the tri-gate transistor is moving from research to the development phase.


Silva attracted by magnetics group

19 June, 2003

Magnets form the basis of computer technology, so the speed at which magnets can act and react has become extremely important. The Nanomagnetics and Spin Dynamics (NSD) group in the School of Physics recently hosted Dr Tom Silva, from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Colorado, to work with them on a development of a high speed magnetometer which measures magnetisation at very short time scales.


Breakthrough tuning for microelectronics
