Before the rise of semiconductor-based random-access memory (RAM), computing relied on an ingenious and now largely forgotten technology: magnetic core memory. This pioneering method of data storage revolutionized early computing, enabling…

Sony Semiconductor Solutions Unveils Edge AI sensing platform

IBM and Rapidus created a development partnership to advance logic scaling technology as part of Japan's initiatives to become a global leader in semiconductor technology. The companies will further develop IBM's breakthrough 2 nanometer…

High-performance timing company Pearl Semiconductor unveiled an all-digital phase-locked loop PLL technology for ultra-low-noise timing solutions. The "SpurFree" architecture targets timing solutions to address increased data flow…

Silicon’s properties as a semiconductor are far from ideal. Although silicon lets electrons whizz through its structure easily, it is less accommodating to electrons’ positively charged counterparts. Harnessing both is important for some…

There’s been a push for the last decade to synthesize graphyne, but success to date was limited. New research from the University of Colorado Boulder published in Nature Synthesis, however, has the potential to open new possibilities for…

A new breakthrough uses a specialized material a mere three atoms thick to more precisely control light than previously possible. The work was conducted in the lab of Harry Atwater, and the results appear in a paper published in the October…

ROHM Semiconductor announced the new BD34301EKV, a 32bit D/A converter IC designed for high fidelity audio equipment, capable of high-resolution playback of audio sources. ROHM also offers BD34301EKV-EVK-001 evaluation boards for testing…

Estimates are that by 2025, we’ll create 175 zettabytes (175trillion gigabytes) of new data. What about the security of sensitive data at a high volume? And how will we address problems from privacy and security to climate change and…
