Electrically controlled silicon photonic devices use carbon nanotube heaters to modulate and filter terahertz waves on chip ...

In 1916, a Polish scientist discovered how to create a mono-crystal, which later became the basis for integrated circuits and semiconductors.

Wan Shou, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering, will study high-quality semiconductor fabrication through a 3D printing process that includes understanding the phase change and ...

Replacing a silicon RFID chip with a piezoelectric crystal, Carinthian Tech Research (CTR) of Villach, Austria, has developed new passive RFID tags able to tolerate and monitor temperatures in ...

A wide variety of electronic devices require reference signals. Crystal devices are one source of reference clocks, but by no means are they the only one. Other sources include, LC oscillators, which ...

Scientists have long sought to make semiconductors—vital components in computer chips and solar cells—that are also ...

Semiconductor industry researchers have been anticipating the need for better transistor channel materials to replace silicon for a long time, but silicon devices have continued to improve enough to ...

Shrinking computers, faster phones, and smarter gadgets all rely on one tiny component: the transistor. Invented in the 20th century, it’s what powers nearly every modern electronic device.
