Silicon motion sensor in line for UK's biggest engineering prize
The inventors of a tiny gyroscope that is cheap and tough enough to be used routinely in cars now have a 1 in 4 chance of winning the UK's biggest engineering prize, the £50,000 Royal Academy of Engineering MacRobert Award for innovation. Tonight, 24 June 1999, the Academy will announce a team from British Aerospace Systems and Equipment... view more... (1999-06-24)
Organic electronics a two-way street, thanks to new plastic semiconductor
Plastic that conducts electricity holds promise for cheaper, thinner and more flexible electronics. This technology is already available in some gadgets -- the new Sony walkman that was introduced earlier this summer and the Microsoft Zune HD music player released last week both incorporate organic light-emitting electronic displays. view more (2009-08-18)
'Instant on' computing
The ferroelectric materials found in today's "smart cards" used in subway, ATM and fuel cards soon may eliminate the time-consuming booting and rebooting of computer operating systems by providing an "instant-on" capability as well as preventing losses from power outages. view more (2009-04-20)
New technology could lead to camera based on human eye
Digital cameras have transformed the world of photography. Now new technology inspired by the human eye could push the photographic image forward even more by producing improved images with a wider field of view. view more (2008-08-07)
News Bits About Qubits: Scientists Store and Retrieve Data Inside an Atom
Another step towards quantum computing - the Holy Grail of data processing and storage - was achieved when an international team of scientists that included researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) were able to successfully store and retrieve information using the nucleus of an atom. view more (2008-10-27)
Cool Findings: Nanotubes Could Improve Thermal Management in Electronics
As the electronics industry continues to churn out smaller and slimmer portable devices, manufacturers have been challenged to find new ways to combat the persistent problem of thermal management. view more (2007-03-30)
Foldable and stretchable, silicon circuits conform to many shapes
Scientists have developed a new form of stretchable silicon integrated circuit that can wrap around complex shapes such as spheres, body parts and aircraft wings, and can operate during stretching, compressing, folding and other types of extreme mechanical deformations, without a reduction in electrical performance. view more (2008-03-28)
New efficiency benchmark for dye-sensitized solar cells
In a paper published online June 29 in the journal Nature Materials, EPFL professor Michael Graetzel, Shaik Zakeeruddin and colleagues from the Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have achieved a record light conversion efficiency of 8.2% in solvent-free dye-sensitized solar cells. view more (2008-06-30)
Rutgers physicists discover novel electronic properties in two-dimensional carbon structure
Rutgers researchers have discovered novel electronic properties in two-dimensional sheets of carbon atoms called graphene that could one day be the heart of speedy and powerful electronic devices. view more (2009-10-15)
A quantum (computer) step
A University of Utah physicist took a step toward developing a superfast computer based on the weird reality of quantum physics by showing it is feasible to read data stored in the form of the magnetic "spins" of phosphorus atoms. view more (2006-11-20)
Burghartz scientific director of thematic DIMES
On 5 June, Professor Joachim Burghartz will be officially appointed as scientific director of a new thematic DIMES (Delft Institute of Microelectronics and Submicrontechnology). To prevent that the research of the strongly growing DIMES becomes too diverse, four research themes will form the new guidelines for this leading research institute of TU... view more...

The Midnight Ride of the CMS Tracking Detector
Scientists of the U.S. CMS collaboration today (Dec. 20) joined colleagues around the world in announcing the successful installation of the world's largest silicon tracking detector at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. view more (2007-12-21)
Doping technique brings nanomechanical devices into the semiconductor world
With the help of a device capable of depositing metals an atom at a time in the materials used in computer chips, a team of University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers has successfully blended modern semiconductor technology and nanomachines. view more (2007-09-27)
Small optical force can budge nanoscale objects
With a bit of leverage, Cornell researchers have used a very tiny beam of light with as little as 1 milliwatt of power to move a silicon structure up to 12 nanometers. That's enough to completely switch the optical properties of the structure from opaque to transparent, they reported. view more (2009-11-18)
Manipulating light on a chip for quantum technologies
A team of physicists and engineers at Bristol University has demonstrated exquisite control of single particles of light - photons - on a silicon chip to make a major advance towards long-sought-after quantum technologies, including super-powerful quantum computers and ultra-precise measurements. view more (2009-06-09)
Ductile grinding of silicon wafers
Microchips have become an indispensable feature of everyday life. They make telephones and washing machines "smart", they control computers, and take the strain out of car driving. These tiny devices are produced on flat sheets of silicon, known as wafers. Conventional wafers measure 200 millimeters in diameter, but soon 300-millimeter diameters... view more... (1999-07-01)
UCLA engineers pioneer affordable alternative energy-solar energy cells made of everyday plastic
