In the early digital era, logic gates were made exclusively of transistors and discrete components. The obvious occupation of a large space and increased heat dissipation pushed technology to ...

To make stretchable electronics, engineers must start with materials that can tolerate strain. That’s why the ability to endure being stretched is a sought-after quality in flexible electronics, ...

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 ...

For many years, integrated circuits for most electronics devices have been made with silicon only. Silicon carbide is transforming the power electronics industry with its superior physical properties ...

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 ...

As noted by AppleInsider, according to the European Union’s list of acquisitions by firms it classes as gatekeepers, Apple ...

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 ...
