You’re probably familiar with the little black boxes nestled neatly inside your favorite devices. With their diminutive size and unassuming characteristics, it can be hard to believe these vessels are ...
Over the past two decades, photonic integrated circuits made from silicon have quickly moved from just being studied in academic settings to being widely used in data centres and telecommunication ...
A new study has uncovered the remarkable potential of biomolecular computing that could provide innovative solutions in next ...
Our hacker [Pat Deegan] of Psychogenic Technologies shows us the entire process of designing an analog ASIC. An ASIC is of course an Application-Specific Integrated Circuit, which is basically ...
Do you ever feel you want to squash your computer to make it go faster? Well, if you like a “hands-on” approach researchers have developed a computer that can do calculations but only if you squish it ...
Different challenges have to be overcome when designing integrated circuits. Besides schematic and layout design work, verification in view of the non-ideal behavior of circuits and semiconductor ...
In recent years, gallium nitride (GaN) has emerged as a compelling candidate to complement the silicon material used in wireless communication and power conversion applications. Benefits of GaN ...
EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland, has collaborated with Harvard and ETH Zurich on a new thin-film circuit that, when connected to a laser beam, produces finely-adjustable terahertz-frequency waves. The ...
Nobel laureate Jack Kilby, whose invention of the integrated circuit opened the way for today’s computers, video games, DVD players, and cell phones, died Monday of cancer. He was 81. In 1958, his ...
