Electronics

A more reliable way to use actuators that control microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), microscopic devices with moving parts that are often produced in the same way as electronics means it’s possible to boost signal without electronic…

We talk and talk and talk each day, not realizing the complexity that goes into such an action. Speaking involves both mouth movement and vibration of the folded tissues referred to as the vocal cords. If the vocal cords sustain injuries…

Electron Diffraction and Molecular Vibration Factors in Organic Conductors

Demand for electronic processing power to run smaller and more powerful devices has meant that transistors, the tiny electrical switches that transmit information, have had to shrink as well. Scientists’ pursuit of the smallest possible…

Smart clothing that provides personalized cooling and heating isn’t here yet, but researchers at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering have created a smart clothing building block, a soft electronic patch that can stretch, bend and…

Negative capacitance field-effect transistors are being explored as a way to make traditional transistors more efficient -- by simply adding a thin film of dielectric material. Billions of tiny switches called transistors are found in…

More than 4,500 exhibitors will launch transformative tech to more than 180,000 attendees. Tech releases and topics will include: 5G connectivity, artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, smart cities and resilience, sports,…
