By harnessing the unique properties of tantala (tantalum pentoxide), a team of US-based researchers has created a photonic integrated circuit that can be tuned to deliver laser light across a broad ...

Scientists may be on the cusp of launching a similar technological revolution — this time using light. In a significant advance toward that goal, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and ...

In the early digital era, logic gates were made exclusively of transistors and discrete components. The obvious occupation of a large space and increased heat dissipation pushed technology to ...

An integrated circuit (IC), also known as a microchip or chip, is a miniaturized electronic circuit consisting of transistors, resistors, capacitors, and other components fabricated onto a single ...

Electrical and computer engineering professor James Buckwalter has been inducted as a senior member of the National Academy of Inventors for his work advancing the high-speed and high-frequency ...

You’re probably familiar with the little black boxes nestled neatly inside your favorite devices. With their diminutive size and unassuming characteristics, it can be hard to believe these vessels are ...

To make stretchable electronics, engineers must start with materials that can tolerate strain. That’s why the ability to endure being stretched is a sought-after quality in flexible electronics, ...

Integrated circuits (ICs) are an integral part of modern technology, and they can be found in a wide array of devices, from smartphones and computers to medical diagnostic tools. However, conventional ...

Computer chips that cram billions of electronic devices into a few square inches have powered the digital economy and transformed the world. Scientists may be on the cusp of launching a similar ...
