Scientists at Penn State believe that the discovery of atomic chains in a two-dimensional crystal could help them to find a way to handle the direction of materials properties in both two- and three-dimensional crystals. This could have implications in next-generation electronics, optoelectronics and sensing applications.
Inspired by the structure of cells that line the walls of human intestine, researchers from the University of Cambridge have produced a preliminary model of next-generation lithium- sulfur batteries.
Picosun Oy provides advanced ALD technology for aluminum nitride batch processes, ensuring superior film uniformity and fast production for semiconductors.
ViTrox Technologies designs and manufactures innovative, leading-edge and cost-effective automated vision inspection equipment and system-on-chip embedded electronics devices for the semiconductor and electronics packaging industries.
A new method to enhance the energy density of lithium (Li-ion) batteries has been developed by Yuan Yang, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering at Columbia Engineering.
Engineers at the University of Cambridge have developed a new, ultralow power transistor that operates by scavenging energy from their environment. This latest transistor could pave the way for new electronic applications such as implantable or wearable devices that can function continuously, for months or even years, without a battery by drawing energy from their environment. Devices based on this transistor can significantly reduce the amount of power used.
Electronics that can be embedded in clothing are a growing trend. However, power sources remain a problem. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, scientists have now introduced thin, flexible, lithium ion batteries with self-healing properties that can be safely worn on the body. Even after completely breaking apart, the battery can grow back together without significant impact on its electrochemical properties.
A new generation of electronics has been inspired by LEDs, however more research is still required to make luminescent materials that have prolonged lifespan and consume less energy. Although a few inorganic metals appear promising, they are rare, expensive to process, and likely to be toxic.
Technological development in the near future will see more transistors being placed into much smaller areas within computer chips. MIT engineers state cell phones, laptops, and other electronic gadgets are likely to face a greater risk of overheating, resulting in interactions between electrons and heat-carrying particles known as phonons.
In response to an external electric field, 'ferroelectric' materials tend to switch between different states of electrical polarization. This flexibility indicates that they hold promise for several applications. including computer memory and electronic devices.
