VTT technology helps in the assembly of microscopic components
Nowadays, micro-sized components that are invisible to the human eye are already being used both in electronics products and elsewhere. Components range from a millimetre to a micrometre in size and are getting even smaller. VTT has developed a unique prototype machine viewer system for use in the assembly and quality inspection of parts in this... view more... (2001-12-05)

Meacher - Urges The Electronics Industry To Design Out Environmental Inefficiencies
Environment Minister Michael Meacher today urged electronics manufacturers to promote more environmentally friendly products and design out inefficient energy features to help the consumer. Better product design, clear labelling and advice on use and disposal are already positive features of Britain's electronics industry. The mandatory EU energy... view more... (2002-03-07)

Center for organic and polymer electronics placed in Linköping
Linköping University in Sweden is to host a new national center for research on organic and polymer electronics (=plastic conducting materials). The Foundation for Strategic Research (SFF) is giving SEK 31 million over five years to a Center for Organic Electronics, COE. The allocation can be seen as testimony to the quality of the... view more... (2003-01-20)

Carbon nanotubes to be replaced by MoSIx nanowires in high-tech devices says new study
Carbon nanotubes have long been touted as the wonder material of the future. Applications cited for carbon nanotubes range from super fast computers and ultra small electronics through to materials that are lightweight yet super strong and tougher than diamond.   view more (2007-11-26)

JHU chemists devise self-assembling 'organic wires'
From pacemakers constructed of materials that so closely mimic human tissues that a patient's body can't discern the difference to devices that bypass injured spinal cords to restore movement to paralyzed limbs, the possibilities presented by organic electronics read like something from a science fiction novel.   view more (2008-10-24)

Magnetic microchip signals new direction in computing
Durham University scientists have successfully carried out a basic computer operation using a magnetic microchip - a major step along the way to establishing a new generation of electronics and computer technology. They are working in the rapidly growing field of nanotechnology, harnessing the magnetic properties of electrons, rather than their... view more... (2002-06-11)

Sensor of plastic can be produced in a printing press
Electrochemical transistors made of plastic open myriad possibilities. Since both electrons and ions are active, they can function as a bridge between traditional electronics and biological systems. A new dissertation from Linköping University in Sweden describes a simple and inexpensive humidity sensor that can be manufactured in a printing... view more... (2005-02-08)

New research could lead to 'invisible' electronics
Imagine a car windshield that displays a map to your destination, military goggles with targets and instructions displayed right before a soldier's eyes or a billboard that doubles as a window.   view more (2006-12-26)

Rensselaer student invents alternative to silicon chip
Even before Weixiao Huang received his doctorate from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, his new transistor captured the attention of some of the biggest American and Japanese automobile companies.   view more (2008-05-14)

Model for the assembly of advanced, single-molecule-based electronic components developed at Pitt
Researchers based at the University of Pittsburgh have created the best method so far of assembling wire-like structures only a single molecule wide, a significant step in science's increasing attempts to reduce the circuitry size of electronic devices to the single molecule scale and provide smaller, faster, and more energy efficient electronics.   view more (2007-09-27)

Inderscience Publishers
A way to make wind power smoother and more efficient that exploits the inertia of a wind turbine rotor could help solve the problem of wind speed variation, according to research published in the International Journal of Power Electronics.   view more (2009-01-08)

Mid Sweden University researchers set world record
When it comes to the density of connections on a chip, researchers in industrial electronics at Mid Sweden University hold the unofficial world record. Their new technique makes it possible to connect chips to an underlying substrate, such as a circuit board, with a density of 80,000 connections per square centimetre. "No one has ever managed... view more... (2004-06-04)

New AFOSR Magnetron May Help Defeat Enemy Electronics
Researchers funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) at the University of Michigan invented a new type of magnetron that may be used to defeat enemy electronics. A magnetron is a type of vacuum tube used as the frequency source in microwave ovens, radar systems and other high-power microwave circuits.    view more (2009-09-17)

New microchip design could be the key to expanding mobile phone memory
Mobile phones could one day have the memory capacity of a desktop computer thanks to a microchip that mimics the functioning of the brain, scientists report today (9 September) in the journal Science.   view more (2005-09-09)

Ohio University Researchers Create Improved Magnetic-Semiconductor Sandwich
Researchers at Ohio University have created an improved magnetic semiconductor that solves a problem spintronics scientists have been investigating for years.    view more (2006-10-03)

Finland to focus on getting more out of its traditional industries
Home to some of the world's largest forest products companies, Finland is committed to staying at the front of this sector and others where it is particularly strong, according to a recent study by the country's National Technology Agency, Tekes.   view more (2005-03-09)

USC researchers print dense lattice of transparent nanotube transistors on flexible base
It's a clear, colorless disk about 5 inches in diameter that bends and twists like a playing card, with a lattice of more than 20,000 nanotube transistors capable of high-performance electronics printed upon it using a potentially inexpensive low-temperature process.   view more (2008-12-17)

Media Invitation: A chance to speak to those involved in the latest research in communications, photonics, electronics, software and networks.
Who is carrying out work to put humans into computers? Who is behind work to put computers into humans? How much faster will our computers be in the future? What is photomedicine? These are just some of the questions that will be answered at PREP 2002. This event is a showcase for the high quality work being carried out in UK universities in... view more... (2002-04-10)

DNA’s oscillating double helix hinders electrical conduction
DNA has an oscillating double-helix structure. This oscillating means that the DNA molecules conduct electricity much less well than was previously thought. Ultrafast cameras were one of the devices the researchers from Amsterdam used to demonstrate this. It turns out the DNA does not have a rigid regular structure as stated in textbooks. In... view more... (2002-09-11)
