Three days before astronauts left on Apollo 8, the first-ever flight around the moon, NASA’s safety chief, Jerome Lederer, gave a speech that was at once reassuring and chilling. Yes, he said, America’s moon program was safe and well-planned—but even so, “Apollo 8 has 5,600,000 parts and one and one…

This sponsored article is brought to you by COMSOL.History teaches that the Industrial Revolution began in England in the mid-18th century. While that era of sooty foundries and mills is long past, manufacturing remains essential — and challenging. One promising way to meet modern industrial challenges is by using additive…

With greater global connectivity, the case for 6G telecommunications has become more apparent than ever before. The generations of wireless cellular technology (or the Gs) have been incrementing every 10 years: 1G prior to 1990, 2G in 1990, 3G in 2000, 4G in 2010, and 5G in 2020. We expect…

The group of well-dressed young men who gathered on the outskirts of Baltimore on the night of 5 January 2021 hardly looked like extremists. But the next day, prosecutors allege, they would all breach the United States Capitol during the deadly insurrection. Several would loot and destroy media equipment, and…

Stowing is a “Beautiful Problem” that Amazon is Solving with Robots

When we hear about manipulation robots in warehouses, it’s almost always in the context of picking. That is, about grasping a single item from a bin of items, and then dropping that item into a different bin, where it may go towards building a customer order. Picking a single item…

Memristors Run AI Tasks at 1/800th Power

Memristive devices that mimic neuron-connecting synapses could serve as the hardware for neural networks that copy the way the brain learns. Now two new studies may help solve key problems these components face not just with yields and reliability, but with finding applications beyond neural nets.Memristors, or memory resistors, are…

Electromagnetic Modeling and Design of an Actuator

3 Ιανουαρίου 2023 by paulkokos

paulkokos

An electromagnetic actuator is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy in the form of linear or rotational motion. The motion can be used, for example, to vibrate a speaker diaphragm, open and close an electromagnetic valve, or open and close an electromagnetic relay. A typical electromagnetic actuator…

Big Trouble in Little Interconnects

2 Ιανουαρίου 2023 by paulkokos

paulkokos

Interconnects—those sometimes nanometers-wide metal wires that link transistors into circuits on an IC—are in need of a major overhaul. And as chip fabs march toward the outer reaches of Moore’s Law, interconnects are also becoming the industry’s choke point.“For some 20-25 years now, copper has been the metal of choice…

Future Transistors, Plastic Processors, and 3D Chips

“Those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it.” With the phenomenal success of the transistor’s first 75 years, it feels like maybe we should both know and repeat. That seems to have been the reaction you (dear devoted IEEE Spectrum reader) took with your semiconductor article…
