Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have announced a breakthrough in increasing processing power. “Their innovative design involves sending liquid coolant—in the form of de-ionized water—through microfluidic passages within a few hundred microns of the transistors, allowing chips to operate at temperatures more than 60 percent lower than air-cooled chips,” … [Read more...]
Graphene-based Inks Yield Low Cost and High Speed Printing in Electronics
A team of researchers at the University of Cambridge, along with the Cambridge-based company Novalia, have produced new graphene-based inks which could lead to high-speed manufacturing of printed electronics. The method involves adding graphene and electrically conducting materials to water-based inks for printing. This is the first time graphene has been used for large-scale … [Read more...]
Laser-Melted Graphite Leads to Linear Chains of Carbon Atoms
Scientists from Lawrence Livermore have discovered a way to generate linear chains of carbon atoms from laser-melted graphite. The material, known as carbyne, has many properties, including the capability of adjusting the amount of electrical current traveling through a circuit. “Its linear shape gives it unique electrical properties that are sensitive to stretching and … [Read more...]
New Type of Electric Glue Developed
Recently, a research group at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) has developed a type of glue that hardens after a low voltage is applied to it. They nicknamed the new adhesive “Voltaglue.” “We had to find a way to make glue which cures (hardens) when we want it to without being affected by environmental conditions, so electricity was the best approach for us. The hardness … [Read more...]
New Technique in Photonic ICs and Optical Computing
A new technique could be a big step toward photonic ICs and optical computing, according to researchers at ITMO University in St. Petersburg, Russia. The technique uses a single silicon nanoparticle as an optical transistor. “In research published in the journal Nano Letters, the Russian scientists turned away from using nanoparticles to control the absorption of light and … [Read more...]
