That startup is Maxwell Labs, which has been collaborating with researchers from Sandia National Labs on a cutting-edge cooling method that precisely targets heat buildups using focused...

Experts say proposed deal with U.S. makes no sense

The Biden administration has announced it is raising tariffs on solar wafers, polysilicon and some tungsten products from China to protect U.S. clean energy businesses

Antimony, a critical metal for military applications, is experiencing surging demand and soaring prices due to global conflicts and China's export restrictions.

The US has announced a new set of sanctions designed to restrict China's access to critical Western technologies that could enhance its AI and military capabilities. Predictably,...

China imposed export controls on gallium and germanium in 2023, two metals that are vital parts of the semiconductor, telecommunications, and electric vehicle industries. Exporters need to...

China has announced a ban on exports to the United States of gallium, germanium and other key high-tech materials with potential military applications

The problem they're tackling is what's known as Boltzmann tyranny. It refers to the fundamental limit to how little voltage is required to switch a silicon transistor...

Nanoscale 3D transistors made from ultrathin semiconductor materials can operate more efficiently than silicon-based devices, leveraging quantum mechanical properties to potentially enable ultra-low-power AI applications.

Imagine a two-dimensional flatland, instead of our three-dimensional world, where the rules of physics are turned on their head and particles like electrons defy expectations to reveal new secrets. That's exactly what a team of researchers, including Georgia State University Professor of Physics Ramesh G. Mani and recent Ph.D. graduate U. Kushan Wijewardena, has been studying at Georgia State's laboratories.

In a new paper published in the Astrophysical Journal, Dr. Ravi Kopparapu and colleagues assessed the potential detectability of solar panels made of silicon on an Earth-like exoplanet as a potential technosignature.

The mega-experiment deep underground will attempt to discover why matter overwhelmed antimatter in the early universe.

IEEE also reflects on the lives of other members

The U.S. is 100% reliant on imports for 12 minerals that are key to the production of semiconductors and other high-tech products.

The UK's national semiconductor strategy aims to establish the country's credentials as a leader in the sector. We look at how it stacks up

MIT scientists have tackled key obstacles to bringing 2D magnetic materials into practical use, setting the stage for the next generation of energy-efficient computers.

It started as routine research—and ended with a revelation.

Many people are familiar with facial recognition systems that unlock smartphones and game systems or allow access to our bank accounts online. But the current technology can require boxy projectors and lenses. Now, researchers report in Nano Letters a sleeker 3D surface imaging system with flatter, simplified optics. In proof-of-concept demonstrations, the new system recognized the face of Michelangelo's David just…

Processing materials on the nanoscale, producing prototypes for microelectronics or analyzing biological samples: The range of applications for finely focused ion beams is huge. Experts from the EU collaboration FIT4NANO have now reviewed the many options and developed a roadmap for the future.
