Flexible circuitry is a big upcoming trend in electronics, but there remain a few challenges to overcome before it can really take off. Now Polyera, a US company that makes specialist chemicals for flexible electronic devices, may ...READ»
Intel and ARM used to live in peaceful coexistence. ARM designed small chips for a litany of inexpensive devices--mobile phones, disk drives, game systems, anti-lock brakes, washing machines--while Intel's forte was ...READ»
A top U.K. scientist says the rush to get electric cars on the road is "dangerous." The scientist, Dr. Richard Pike, is head of the Royal Chemistry Society--an important position with a direct line to the media. He says ...READ»
Gordon Moore's 1965 observation of increasing integrated circuit power paralleling shrinkage in size was originally tentatively phrased: "The complexity for minimum component costs has increased at a rate of roughly a factor of two ...READ»
Creating electronic products is as easy as installing software and connecting an electronic circuit board (Evaluation Board)to your desktop or notebook computer's USB port. Semiconductor manufacturers are developing and selling ...READ»
Talk of androids, advanced computer-based brain simulations and war robots is very exiting, but the development of artificial intelligence has been slightly stumped by a lack of transistors that work like our brains do. Until now.Now, ...READ»
A new radio chip mimics the human inner ear--but detects signals at frequencies of about a million times higher--could enable universal wireless devices that are able to pick up almost any electrical signal in the air.READ»
I have spent most of this month researching and writing about emerging green careers for a book about that subject, and the effort has made me aware of the many factors that must be in place before an emerging career can reach the ...READ»
While there's a lot of work to push nanotechnology as the future of computer chips, good old-fashioned semiconductors still have a lot of life in them yet: and they've recently been given a boost with a radical new type of circuit ...READ»
Why small-scale, local power -- the microgrid -- could be the answer to our energy crisis. And why the big utilities are fighting it with all they've got.READ»

The semiconductor has been the driving force behind the digital revolution. Now Akira Ishikawa is looking to force the revolution into overdrive by creating semiconductors in the form of spheres instead of chips -- a breakthrough with truly electrifyingREAD»
AES is big, rich - and unlike any company you've ever seen. It builds power plants by handing power to workers on the front lines. Its radical business model has worked wonders in the United States. Can it also work in Hungary, China, and Brazil?READ»
Memristors are a seriously hot topic at the moment--we've seen several announcements about these tiny slivers of semiconductor which are the future of electronics, and now HP's got news too. Their memristors will beat flash memory, ...READ»
Intel's [INTC] announced details of its next-generation chips, fabricated using a 32nm process, due to go on sale late 2009--the chip's transistors switch 22% faster and result in processors much smaller than the current 45nm ...READ»
Scientists have discovered that real schools of real fish can be steered along by artificial robot fish. Weird. But the news has big implications for green power production. NYU-Poly's Dynamical Systems Laboratory, using the ...READ»
Everybody worships at the altar of innovation. But it takes a company such as Intel to distill the very essence of innovation and turn it into a set of learnable, repeatable practices.READ»
At 36, Intel's David Marsing suffered a near-fatal heart attack. Now he's running the world's largest semi-conductor factory -- and trying to save Intel from itself.READ»
Rice University scientists are reporting advances in shrinking the technology that makes computer memory work--a huge key to the next revolution in gadget design. Soon your supercomputer may be iPhone-sized.READ»
AMD's Brad Burgess is the chief architect behind the company's future low-power/portable device Bobcat CPUs. We spoke to him about them, but also about the future. READ»
