Selector-Only-Memory (SOM) is nearly here thanks to a screening breakthrough

MIT researchers demonstrate petahertz-frequency mixers, operating at speeds up to a quadrillion times per second, that integrate light wave and electronic systems, enabling unprecedented data processing, ultrafast light-matter interaction analysis, and groundbreaking advancements in spectroscopy and imaging.

According to researchers from the University of Cambridge, the burn-in effect in OLED panels can be eliminated by controlling the blue light-emitting diodes. In a study published...

In short: Chaos ensued.

Grist writer Tik Root documented his experiences updating his home with cleaner, more climate-friendly systems.

Sony and Seagate plans to mass-produce laser diodes that quadruple hard disk drive capacity, aiming to double data storage capacity in the data storage sector.

Solar panels use a scientific concept called the photovoltaic effect to turn sunlight into electricity. Here's a deep dive into how it all works.

When Mickael Perrin started out on his scientific career 12 years ago, he had no way of knowing he was conducting research in an area that would be attracting wide public interest only a few years later: Quantum electronics. "At the time, physicists were just starting to talk about the potential of quantum technologies and quantum computers," he recalls.

2023 was a big year for PC gaming, but the biggest thing that enhanced my gaming experience was the introduction of OLED gaming monitors.

In this article, we will explore the different types of electronic components manufacturing processes that enable us to enjoy the conveniences of the digital age.

I read The Chip. It's an interesting history of the invention of the microchip and the commercial ramifications, first published in 1985, and updated in 2001. If you haven't read it, then I can recommend it. The history of the people and companies was fascinating to me.Where the book is IMO weakest is in the technical material; silicon doping, configuration of simple circuits, layout of devices on a substrate etc.…

Obtaining useful work from random fluctuations in a system at thermal equilibrium has long been considered impossible. In fact, in the 1960s eminent American physicist Richard Feynman effectively shut down further inquiry after he argued in a series of lectures that Brownian motion, or the thermal motion of atoms, cannot perform useful work.

The diode's 50% efficiency would be a boon for chip design.

Back when I did my Weller WXsmart RoadTest Review, I needed some things to solder. Aside from the regular SMD practice kits, I also went out of my way to get a few through-hole technology kits as w…

Microchip entrepreneur and architect of Moore's Law.

Every other consumer electronic device on the market performs some form of DC voltage conversion. The reason is simple: the voltage you get out of a typical battery or a cheap wall wart is seldom right for every part of the circuit — from motors, to LCD backlights, to latest-generation digital chips.

At room temperature, micron-sized sheets of freestanding graphene are in constant motion, even in the presence of an applied bias voltage. We quantify the out-of-plane movement by collecting the displacement current using a nearby small-area metal electrode and present an Ito-Langevin model for the motion coupled to a circuit containing diodes. Numerical simulations show that the system reaches thermal equilibrium…

India didn't start semiconductors recently, but 60 years ago. From a position of leadership, it gave up its position to Asian tigers. Can it win?

Using green light and a double-layered cell, Ph.D. researcher Riccardo Ollearo has come up with a photodiode that has sensitivity that many can only dream of.
