Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Computing Technology (ICT) have released details about a new microprocessor which they hope will bring major developments to the computing industry in China by 2010. The chip, named Godson-3 under the ...

Cambridge Consultants, as part of the Continua Health Alliance, has announced the development of the Vena platform. Vena is a single-chip communications solution for health devices, with the capability to provide wired (USB) and wireless (Bluetooth) connectivity to health devices. ...

Intel recently unveiled a line of new generation system-on-a-chip designs. The Intel EP80579 Integrated Processor family can be applied to security, mobile Internet devices, storage, communications, and industrial robotics applications. The system-on-a-chip (SoC) products are based on the Pentium M ...

An international team of researchers has demonstrated that it can manipulate the quantum state of a single electron in a silicon transistor by placing the electron in two places at once. Their breakthrough could point the way towards a practical ...

Researchers at Harvard’s Whitesides Research Group may have found a way to make microfluidics technology much cheaper by taking advantage of the natural movement of liquid through paper. Hopefully, their work will lead to the creation of disposable diagnostic tests, ...

A team of electrical engineers from Stanford University and Toshiba have developed nanotube wires that can withstand data transfer speeds comparable to those of commercially available chips. In a paper published in the “Nano Letters” Journal, the researchers reported they ...

Researchers at Stanford University have developed silicon-based chips that can be mechanically stretched to cover an area up to 50 times larger than their original size. The technology, which was recently demonstrated at the International Electron Devices Meeting in Washington ...

A group of researchers at Clemson University recently developed a new process and equipment that is expected to significantly reduce the amount of heat generated by silicon chips used for speeding processors. As microprocessors tend to generate more heat at ...

The San Francisco based Company Kovio has recently announced the development of a new process for printing transistors for memory and logic chips, as well as analog devices for radio transmitters. Since the technology uses commercial printing equipment such as ...

Electrical engineers at the University of California in San Diego (UCSD) have developed the world’s most complex “phased array” – or radio frequency integrated circuit. Funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), this device is expected to find ...
