At this week’s International Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSCC 2013), imec and Holst Centre presented an ultra-low power processor that operates reliably at near-threshold voltages. The processor delivers clock speeds up to 1MHz at voltages down to 0.4 V. In tests based on a Fast Fourier Transform use case, it consumed only 79 µW – a fraction of the power consumption at standard voltages.
The base pairs that hold together two pieces of RNA, the older cousin of DNA, are some of the most important molecular interactions in living cells. Many scientists believe that these base pairs were part of life from the very beginning and that RNA was one of the first polymers of life. But there is a problem.
Wyatt Technology Corporation, the world leader in absolute macromolecular characterization instrumentation and software, today announced that Professor JuditE. Puskas at the University of Akron has developed a system using its instrumentation that will also help to solve a prevalent and particularly controversial material science challenge.
Toshiba Corporation and NuFlare Technology, Inc. have been awarded The 59th Okochi Memorial Grand Production Prize for their joint development and practical application of electron beam (EB) mask writers. The award ceremony will take place in Tokyo on March 22.
Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology show that a recently discovered class of materials can be used to create a new kind of solar cell.
CILAS has recently provided the University of Orléans with two nanoparticles size analyzer instruments: the NANO DS and the SAFEAIR, for a new scientific platform called NANOSYNTHESE.
Magnolia Solar Corporation ("Magnolia Solar" or the "Company"), developer of revolutionary thin-film solar cell technologies employing nanostructured materials and designs, announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary Magnolia Solar, Inc. achieved high quality 6-inch growth of nanostructured antireflection (AR) coatings on glass for solar cell applications. The Company believes this milestone brings this AR technology closer to commercial viability in the existing solar power market.
Graphene, touted as the next wunderkind material because of its extraordinary properties, will grow to a $126 million market in 2020, from its $9 million base in 2012, according to Lux Research. While an impressive debut for a new material, this growth is less than some of the hype may suggest.
Imec and PVA Tepla present breakthrough results in the detection of TSV voids in 3D stacked IC technology. After having applied Scanning Acoustic Microscopy to temporary wafer (de)bonding inspection, they successfully used new advanced GHz SAM technology to detect TSV voids at wafer-level after TSV Copper plating. Together, they will continue to investigate the applicability of high-frequency scanning acoustic microscopy for non-destructive submicron void detection.
MIT engineers have created a new polymer film that can generate electricity by drawing on a ubiquitous source: water vapor.
