Workshop tackles a critical gap slowing the development of new hardware technologies

“MIT, RPI, and SUNY convene a national conversation on semiconductor tech translation and hard-tech startups. A growing gap in the transition of inventions from research labs to market is slowing the development and scale-up of new hardware technologies in the …

3rd Gen AMD EPYC Processors with AMD 3D V-Cache Technology Deliver Outstanding Leadership Performance in Technical Computing Workloads

“AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) announced the general availability of the world’s first data center CPU using 3D die stacking, the 3rd Gen AMD EPYC™ processors with AMD 3D V-Cache™ technology, formerly codenamed “Milan-X.” Built on the “Zen 3” core architecture …

A New Specification for Hyperscale Virtualization

“Today, Intel contributed the Scalable I/O Virtualization (SIOV) specification to the Open Compute Project (OCP) with Microsoft, enabling device and platform manufacturers access to an industry standard specification for hyperscale virtualization of PCI Express and Compute Express Link devices …

Advanced Electrothermal models from Nexperia cover entire MOSFET operating temperature range

“Nexperia, the expert in essential semiconductors, today announced the release of new, enhanced Electrothermal models for its MOSFET devices. Semiconductor manufacturers commonly provide simulation models for their MOSFETs, but these usually only include a limited number of device parameters which …

Autonomous nanomachines inspired by nature

“Inspired by the way molecules interact in nature, UNSW medical researchers engineer versatile nanoscale machines to enable greater functional range. To withstand the challenging conditions within living organisms, molecular machines need to be durably constructed for continuous operation over long …

Chasing the world’s first Brain-on-Chip AI computer

“The new project BayesBrain aims to build the world’s first computer that combines brain cells and silicon microchips. Besides being the most intelligent computing system ever, the brain is also very energy efficient. It uses orders of magnitude less …

Don’t underestimate undulating graphene

“Lay some graphene down on a wavy surface, and you’ll get a guide to one possible future of two-dimensional electronics. Rice University scientists put forth the idea that growing atom-thick graphene on a gently textured surface creates peaks and …

Enhancing the electromechanical behavior of a flexible polymer

“Piezoelectric materials convert mechanical stress into electricity, or vice versa, and can be useful in sensors, actuators and many other applications. But implementing piezoelectrics in polymers — materials composed of molecular chains and commonly used in plastics, drugs and more — can …

Gravity could solve renewable energy’s biggest problem

“In the Swiss municipality of Arbedo-Castione, a 70-meter crane stands tall. Six arms protrude from the top, hoisting giant blocks into the sky. But these aren’t building blocks, and the crane isn’t being used for construction. The steel …

How to predict and manage EV charging growth to keep electricity grids reliable and affordable

“One day, the demand for electricity to charge electric vehicles may overwhelm the power grid, unless the electricity sector is prepared for the challenge. With a growing fleet of EVs on the road, grid planners depend on accurate estimates of …
