Researchers at the University of Sydney have combined a photonic filter and modulator on a single chip in a way that allows them to precisely detect signals across a wide band of radiofrequency (RF) spectrum. The work brings photonic chips one step closer to one day potentially replacing bulkier and…

Magnetic Knots Push Future Computing Toward 3D

Knots in magnetic materials may provide a new direction for next-generation computing architectures to branch out into. To that end, researchers have now created a novel magnetic knot that looks like a tiny magnetized version of a cinnamon twist. And this same magnetic knot—embedded in a magnetic material a little…

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

18 Δεκεμβρίου 2023 by paulkokos

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…
