Key Things to Know: Challenges of Wearable Medical Devices: Despite their potential, wearable devices face significant hurdles due to the physical nature of electronic components and the demands of operating under extreme conditions. Flexible Electronics: They offer the potential to transform technology with their capacity to bend, twist, and stretch. However, issues like durability, material […]
Researchers are able to translate information in light to vibrations of the membrane inside a quantum drum and back. Credit: Julian Robinson-Tait Researchers at the University of Copenhagen’s Niels Bohr Institute have developed a new way to create quantum memory: A small drum can store data sent with light in its sonic vibrations, and then […]
RC32312 and RC32308 “provide phase noise and jitter required to meet the needs of 112Gbit/s as well as 224Gbit/s SerDes designs using commonly-available 48MHz to 73MHz crystals”, claimed the company. “The devices can generate up to four frequency domains and offer integrated low-drop regulators with superior power supply rejection.” Clocks are available with 50fs rms […]
Compared to Q4, the Q1 revenue was down 5.3% and net income was down 5.5%. Gross margin for the quarter was 53.1%, operating margin was 42.0%, and net profit margin was 38.0%. In Q1, shipments of 3-nanometer accounted for 9% of total wafer revenue; 5-nanometer accounted for 37%; 7-nanometer accounted for 19%. Advanced technologies, defined […]
The Chips Act has set aside approximately $54 million for research projects for measurement services, tools, and instrumentation; innovative manufacturing metrologies; novel assurance and provenance technologies and advanced metrology R&D testbeds. In September 2022, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published a report titled Strategic Opportunities for U.S. Semiconductor Manufacturing, which identifies […]
The massive growth that the data center GPU and AI ASIC market experienced in 2023 is expected to continue in 2024 before stabilising in 2025. Generative AI’s rise since late 2022 has boosted demand for high-speed memory technologies, including DDR5 DRAM, GDDR6 DRAM, etc., as well as HBM . Thanks to strong momentum in GPUs […]
The Thief River Falls distributor’s line card will now include 3PEAK amplifiers, isolation, interface, data converters, drivers, battery management products and others. These additions cover applications ranging from communication, industrial, and security monitoring, to medical, health, and instrumentation, said DigiKey. “Adding 3PEAK to the DigiKey line card strengthens our commitment to offering engineers a broad […]
The companies have been jointly conducting R&D on sub-terahertz devices since 2021 in anticipation of the coming 6G era. To date, tests of a jointly developed wireless device have achieved ultra-high-speed 100 Gbps transmissions in the 100 GHz and 300 GHz bands at distances of up to 100 meters. By comparison, 100 Gbps is approximately […]
The relationship between host/guest acceptors and performance. Credit: NIMTE A research group led by Prof. Ge Ziyi at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has proposed a key strategy for optimizing guest components to minimize non-radiative voltage losses and thus achieve high-efficiency ternary organic solar cells (OSCs).
