A new study from MIT has examined modern technology through the lens of a 150-year-old economic theory of efficiency and resource consumption – and in almost all cases, the benefits of reducing required resources is cancelled out by the increase in consumer demand for them.
-
Engineers at Stanford have developed a new component to help stretch the potential of wearable electronics.
-
They're not the first transistors created using carbon nanotubes (CNTs), but researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) claim their new carbon nanotube transistors are the first to outperform the best silicon transistors available today.
-
A new graphene-based sensor has been developed that can quickly and easily detect DNA mutations associated with a range of cancers and other life-threatening illnesses. It is envisaged that the sensor will eventually be implantable, and communicate data wirelessly to mobile devices in real-time.
-
Scientists have designed a graphene-based transistor that works with ultra-low power consumption and which could ultimately be used to increase the clock speed of processors up to a staggering 100 GHz.
-
A project in Germany has set a new world record for wireless data transmission, sending 6 Gigabits per second, or the equivalent of the entire contents of a conventional DVD in under 10 seconds.
-
Scientists at the National Nanotechnology Laboratory (LNNano) in Brazil have created a biosensor capable of rapidly detecting molecules specifically linked to various cancers and neurological diseases.
-
A breakthrough manufacturing method, using a technique known as nanoimprint lithography, has been devised that creates high-performance transistors with wireless capabilities on rolls of common, flexible plastic.
-
Engineers have found a simple method to fix the defects common in films called monolayer semiconductors. The new process in the development of atomically thin materials could advance the development of transparent LED displays, efficient solar cells and tiny transistors.
-
Researchers have built a molecule-sized transistor that can reportedly control the flow of single electrons, paving the way for the next generation of nanomaterials and miniaturized electronics.
-
Graphene isn't the only wonder material that could trigger a major leap forward in electronics. Silicene, an atom-thin form of silicon, has for the first time been made into a transistor, and it could lead to much faster and more efficient computer chips.
-
Researchers at the University of New South Wales have each achieved records in processing quantum data with an accuracy above 99 percent and the storage of coherent quantum information for more than thirty seconds, both of which are essential for creating future super-fast quantum computers.
