Could the analog quartz wristwatch, a mainstay of the timepiece market for more than half a century, be headed finally for a high-tech makeover? A French startup, SilMach, in Besançon, France, is betting big that it is. The company has used silicon microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) to produce an entirely new…

This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore. As the telecommunications industry slowly deploys 5G networks around the world, researchers are starting to look ahead at technologies for next-generation 6G networks. One vision for 6G is to use new-to-cellular frequencies ranging from…

Across the globe, data centers are stacked to the ceiling with shelf after shelf of humming servers. The collective number of operating CPUs is taking a toll on data centers’ energy bills, but the real culprit driving up the facilities’ energy costs may actually be their thermostats. Like humans, computers…

Despite having heard the song probably 50 times in the last two years, there are notes in David Bowie’s “Starman” that I’d never heard until one morning in early November. That’s when I got to try a prototype noise-canceling earbud from xMEMS. The five year old startup specializes in making…

Imperfect Clocks Limit Quantum Computers

13 Νοεμβρίου 2023 by paulkokos

paulkokos

The quantum computers that IBM, Google, Amazon and others are developing face daunting challenges on the road to practical applications. Now it turns out they may face a fundamental limit to large-scale performance—the imperfect nature of all clocks.Quantum computing can theoretically find answers to problems that classical computing would take…

Thermal Transistors Handle Heat With No Moving Parts

13 Νοεμβρίου 2023 by paulkokos

paulkokos

Electronic transistors are central to modern electronics. These devices precisely control the flow of electricity, but in doing so, they generate heat. Now, researchers at the University of California Los Angeles have developed a solid-state thermal transistor—the first device of its kind that can use an electric field to control…
