Researchers create first nanofluidic transistor, the basis of future chemical processors
University of California, Berkeley, researchers have invented a variation on the standard electronic transistor, creating the first "nanofluidic" transistor that allows them to control the movement of ions through sub-microscopic, water-filled channels. view more (2005-06-30)
Emulating and testing chips
Even coffee machines will soon begin to "think" for themselves. There is at least a clear trend emerging to equip all kinds of electrical devices with chips that offer special functions. It takes a considerable amount of time to develop such ASICs - application-specific integrated circuits. "From establishing initial contact with... view more... (2002-11-27)
Chalmers first with integrated receiver for high frequency applications
As the first research group in the world, researchers at Chalmers have succeeded in combining a receiver for high frequencies with an antenna on a small chip. view more (2007-11-29)
Researchers make new electronics -- with a twist
They've made electronics that can bend. They've made electronics that can stretch. And now, they've reached the ultimate goal -- electronics that can be subjected to any complex deformation, including twisting. view more (2008-11-20)
Intelligent system for tilting trains
The Intelligent System for Integrated Tilting (ISIT), developed by rolling stock manufacturers CAF (Basque Country), is a tilting system which activates at the required moment and manages to reduce the centrifugal effect suffered by passengers when a train negotiates bends. Or, in other words: view more (2004-10-07)
AN ELEMENT OF UNCERTAINTY
Professor Alan Murray and Dr Martin Reekie of the Department of Electronics & Electrical Engineering aim to develop small analogue circuits which will do what conventional computers find difficult - to represent the element of uncertainty which is present in most physical and biological processes and is an intrinsic feature of many natural... view more...

Brain plasticity: Changes and resets in homeostasis
In an article published in the June 25th edition of the journal Neuron, researchers at the Hotchkiss Brain Institute, University of Calgary, have found that synaptic plasticity, long implicated as a device for 'change' in the brain, may also be essential for stability. view more (2009-06-26)
MIT 'optics on a chip' may revolutionize telecom, computing
In work that could lead to completely new devices, systems and applications in computing and telecommunications, MIT researchers are bringing the long-sought goal of "optics on a chip" one step closer to market. view more (2007-02-06)
UBC researchers put a new spin on electrons
In the first demonstration of its kind, researchers at the University of British Columbia have controlled the spin of electrons using a ballistic technique--bouncing electrons through a microscopic channel of precisely constructed, two-dimensional layer of semiconductor. view more (2009-04-16)
A First in Integrated Nanowire Sensor Circuitry
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley have created the world's first all-integrated sensor circuit based on nanowire arrays, combining light sensors and electronics made of different crystalline materials. Their method can be used to reproduce numerous such... view more... (2008-08-05)
Circuit board materials may like it hot (or not)
Electrical circuits may act differently in Arizona than they do in Alaska—potentially affecting the performance of computers and other electronics. A new technique identifies and quantifies an important cause of this temperature sensitivity. view more (2006-06-09)
Blue laser - the alpha and the omega
The future of DVD is blue. New, low-cost optical laser technology generates short-wavelength beams. At the other end of the beam are detector heads that will soon contain arrays of up to 25 sensors. Two Fraunhofer Institutes are taking the lead at both ends of the spectrum. Man's appetite seems to be insatiable. In the dark ages, packing away... view more... (2004-05-14)
New graphene transistor promises life after death of silicon chip
Researchers have used the world's thinnest material to create the world's smallest transistor - a breakthrough that could spark the development of a new type of super-fast computer chip. view more (2007-03-01)
Silicon chips for optical quantum technologies
A team of physicists and engineers has demonstrated exquisite control of single particles of light - photons - on a silicon chip to make a major advance towards the long sought after goal of a super-powerful quantum computer. view more (2008-03-28)
Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) For Car Radios
Fraunhofer IIS presented the first DRM chip design for car radios. This car radio solution will enable drivers to select their preferred radio program from hundreds of different radio stations. However, it is something more than purely listening to favorite music: the new radio formats offer multilingual support to ethnic news or talk programs. In... view more... (2005-01-10)
Discovery Brings New Type of Fast Computers Closer to Reality
Physicists at UC San Diego have successfully created speedy integrated circuits with particles called "excitons" that operate at commercially cold temperatures, bringing the possibility of a new type of extremely fast computer based on excitons closer to reality. view more (2009-09-28)
Patients With Panic Are Less Likely To Relapse If They Had Psychotherapy In Addition To Drug Treatment
Two researchers of the University of Roma report on the importance of psychological treatment in preventing relapse of panic. Many short-term trials suggested that the combination of psychotherapy with medication might be more effective than either treatment alone. However, only few studies examined the long-term effectiveness of this combination.... view more... (2003-01-13)
Watching the radio
The days are over when all that radio listeners could expect were words and music. At the International Audio and Video Fair (IFA) in Berlin, researchers from the Applied Electronics Department of the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS presented multimedia radio. It is able to transmit small-sized moving pictures as well as sound.... view more... (1999-09-03)
Best antenatal screening: study results
A study of about 50,000 pregnant women has shown that the integrated test for Down's syndrome offers a "significantly higher" level of safety than the screening available to most women in the UK. The study, which will be reported in the June Journal of Medical Screening, was carried out by Professor Nicholas Wald and colleagues at the... view more... (2003-06-02)
Magnetic field research could make computers 500 times more powerful
Magnetic fields created using nanotechnology could make computers up to 500 times more powerful, if new research is successful. view more (2006-06-23)
