There’s a global battle to control technologies critical to industrial and military use—and both the U.S. and China are announcing restrictions, worsening the relationship between the countries. China, for example, announced it will…

The University of Surrey tackled a problem that plagued source-gated transistors (SGT). SGTs are often not used because of how their performance changes with temperature. Researchers developed a new design for the transistor part called the…

AI apps need denser, more powerful computer chips. However, today’s semiconductor chips are made with boxy 3D structures, making stacking multiple layers of transistors to create dense integrations challenging. By using ultrathin 2D…

Researchers from the University of Manchester report record-high magnetoresistance in graphene under ambient conditions, publishing their findings in Nature. Potential applications include vehicles and computers with multiple tiny magnetic…

How would you like to use a battery that never needs recharging and lasts over 100 years? Sounds too good to be true, but this technology exists and is ancient. It is called a Zamboni Pile (also called a Duluc Pile) and is a very old…

InnoPhase just announced the Hermes TWO digital radio device to provide more efficient cellular networks. The device incorporates the company's radio architecture, providing greater system efficiency and performance. InnoPhase claims that…

President Biden and Prime Minister Modi announced a U.S.-India initiative on Critical and Emerging Technology (iCET) in May 2022, and its inaugural meeting just took place in Washington, D.C. Discussions centered on opportunities for…

As semiconductors gain greater functionality and production volume, the environmental cost also increases. The greenhouse gases and waste from the semiconductor manufacturing process are serious environmental issues. A research team at…

According to physicists at the University of Basel, there is a negative correlation between the spins of an entangled pair of electrons from a superconductor. The researchers used spin filters made of nanomagnets and quantum dots. They…

Its full name is Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors and Science Act of 2022. The CHIPS Act, as it is more commonly known, was signed into law on August 9, 2022. The Act provides for $280 billion in spending over the next…
