Trust no one. It’s not just a throwaway line from TV thrillers. It’s becoming the goal of computer security, and a technology that can make it a reality has arrived. Called fully homomorphic encryption, or FHE, it allows software to compute on encrypted data without ever decrypting it. The possibilities…

How to Evaluate Electrically Insulating Epoxies

21 Δεκεμβρίου 2023 by paulkokos

This paper delves into key electrical characteristics inherent to epoxies, including the dielectric constant, dissipation factor, dielectric strength, surface, and volume resistivity. Explore the measurement methods for these properties, their optimal benchmarks, and their response to fluctuations in temperature, fillers, and other variables. Moreover, the unique composition of resin and…

IBM Demos Transistor with Liquid Nitrogen Cooling

Liquid nitrogen boils at just 77 Kelvins (-196 °C). Cooling electronics to this frigid temperature could boost performance, but today’s transistors aren’t designed with cryogenic temperatures in mind. At the 2023 IEEE International Electron Device Meeting (IEDM) held in San Francisco earlier in December, IBM researchers demonstrated the first advanced…

Meet the PHOLED That Is Transforming Displays

OLED displays dominate cellphones and have grabbed a big piece of the high-end TV market, thanks to their crisp images, deep black levels, and wide viewing angles. But OLED technology doesn’t do better than the alternative—LCDs—in longevity or brightness. And energy efficiency is a toss-up, depending on the images being…

In 2024, Intel Hopes to Leapfrog Its Chipmaking Competitors

For the past five years, Intel has lagged behind Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. and Samsung in advanced chip manufacturing. Now, in an attempt to regain the lead, the company is making a bold—and risky—move, introducing two novel technologies in its desktop and laptop Arrow Lake processor, due out in late…

Gemini Is Google’s Best AI Model Yet, But Who Cares?

18 Δεκεμβρίου 2023 by paulkokos

Google’s reveal of Gemini, an AI model built to close the gap between the search giant and OpenAI, made a great first impression. Strong benchmarks, a flashy video demo, and immediate availability (albeit for a cut-back version) signaled confidence. But the positivity soured as AI engineers and enthusiasts picked through…

Amazon Fires Up Its Space Lasers

A shoot-out featuring thousands of lasers is about to break out in low earth orbit. Luckily, no one will get hurt—the lasers’ targets are the protagonists’ own communications satellites. Amazon has just announced that two of its prototype internet satellites equipped with infrared lasers transferred data at 100 gigabits per…

35 Years Ago, Researchers Used Brain Waves to Control a Robot

Using the brain to directly control an object was long the stuff of science fiction, and in 1988 the vision became a reality.IEEE Life Senior Member Stevo Bozinovski and Members Mihail Sestakov and Dr. Liljana Bozinovska used a student volunteer’s electroencephalogram (EEG) brain signals to move a robot along a…

Intel, Samsung, and TSMC Demo 3D-Stacked Transistors

16 Δεκεμβρίου 2023 by paulkokos

paulkokos

A vision for future processors with nearly double the density of transistors is beginning to take shape, now that all three advanced chipmakers have demonstrated CFETS, or complementary field-effect transistors. CFETs are a single structure that stacks both the types of transistors needed for CMOS logic. At the IEEE International…
