A new study is providing new insights into how next-generation electronics, including memory components in computers, breakdown or degrade over time. A new study led by researchers at the University ...

(Nanowerk News) Anyone who has ever toasted the top of their legs with their laptop or broiled their ear on a cell phone knows that microelectronic devices can give off a lot of heat. These devices ...

(Nanowerk News) As the integrated circuits that power our electronic devices get more powerful, they are also getting smaller. This trend of microelectronics has only accelerated in recent years as ...

Research at Rochester Institute of Technology into new energy-efficient materials for computing could improve the bottleneck that often occurs when retrieving large amounts of data, hindering ...

video: Engineers at the University of California San Diego have fabricated the first semiconductor-free, optically-controlled microelectronic device. Using metamaterials, engineers were able to build ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The church publishes the ...

Remember those old-timey room-sized vacuum-tube-powered computers with less processing power than your smartphone? That tech might be making a comeback, thanks to work from scientists from UC San ...

In a recent address at the Atlantic Council, Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment Ellen Lord called for “whole of government” action in response to international 5G development.

Marking a revolution in the chip industry for electronics, American scientists have designed the world's first semiconductor-free, optically controlled microelectronic device. Without semiconductors, ...

Currently, microelectronic device manufacturers must rely on simulations alone to understand the temperatures inside individual devices. Researchers have now developed a way to determine actual ...
