“A new study finds that “connected” vehicles, which share data with each other wirelessly, significantly improve travel time through intersections — but automated vehicles can actually slow down travel time through intersections if they are not connected to each other. The …
News Simple superconducting device could dramatically cut energy use in computing, other applications
“The ultrasmall “switch” could be easily scaled. MIT scientists and their colleagues have created a simple superconducting device that could transfer current through electronic devices much more efficiently than is possible today. As a result, the new diode, a kind …
“SK hynix Inc. (or “the company”, www.skhynix.com) announced today that it has begun supplying the industry’s first 24-gigabyte (GB) Low Power Double Data Rate 5X (LPDDR5X1) mobile DRAM package to its customers, following the mass production of …
News Toshiba Launches Automotive 40V N-Channel Power MOSFETs with New Package that Contributes to High Heat Dissipation and Size Reduction of Automotive Equipment
“Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) has launched two automotive 40V N-channel power MOSFETs, “XPJR6604PB” and “XPJ1R004PB,” that use Toshiba’s new S-TOGL™ (Small Transistor Outline Gull-wing Leads) package with U-MOS IX-H process chips. Volume shipments start …
“Gallium oxide offers resistance to radiation and high temperatures, and could be used for data storage and computing in extreme conditions. Among the many hazards encountered by space probes, exposure to radiation and huge temperature swings pose particular challenges for …
“Directing light from place to the place is the backbone of our modern world. Beneath the oceans and across continents, fiber optic cables carry light that encodes everything from YouTube videos to banking transmissions — all inside strands about the size …
“X-ray laser studies help researchers identify early steps in the freezing process to better understand how clouds make ice and their effect on climate. Clouds are a lot cooler than you might think. In fact, scientists might say they’re …
“By tinkering with the material makeup of perovskite LEDs, a cheaper and more easily-made type of LED, Stanford researchers achieved leaps in brightness and efficiency – but saw their lights give out after a few minutes of use. Chances are, the …
“Researchers have created a quantum superposition state in a semiconductor nanostructure that might serve as a basis for quantum computing. The trick: two optical laser pulses that act as a single terahertz laser pulse. A German-Chinese research team has successfully …
“Putting a suite of new materials synthesis and characterization methods to the test, a team of scientists from the University of Iowa and the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory has developed 14 organic-inorganic hybrid materials …
