(PhysOrg.com) -- Xerox has developed an ink which can be used to print circuits onto plastics, films, and textiles. Although circuits printed on flexible materials aren't new, Xerox's method may be cheap and easy enough to open the doors to many new possibilities for flexible electronics. http://www.physorg.com/news175870685.html Technology Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:58:38 EST news175870685 (PhysOrg.com) -- A short circuit can be quite hairy: satellites have failed, a NASA computer centre was repeatedly paralysed and the US public heath authority recalled thousands of pacemakers - all because tin whiskers caused a short circuit in the electronic components of these devices. http://www.physorg.com/news173450615.html Physics Tue, 29 Sep 2009 13:44:24 EST news173450615 The sandwich recipe recently concocted by scientists working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology may prove tasty for computer chip designers, who have long had an appetite for molecule-sized electronic components - but no clear way to satisfy it until now. http://www.physorg.com/news170517055.html Chemistry Wed, 26 Aug 2009 14:51:51 EST news170517055 By combining the results of a number of powerful techniques for studying material structure at the nanoscale, a team of researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, working with colleagues in other federal labs and abroad, believe they have settled a long-standing debate over the source of the unique electronic properties of a material with potentially great importance for wireless communications. http://www.physorg.com/news158417087.html Physics Wed, 08 Apr 2009 13:45:24 EST news158417087 (PhysOrg.com) -- The cooling of electronic components is playing an increasing role in the design process of electronic equipment such as mobile telephones, games computers and laptops. Wessel Wits, PhD student at the University of Twente, has developed two innovative concepts for cooling such devices. Patents for both concepts are pending. Wits will be awarded his doctorate on 4 December at the faculty of Engineering Technology. http://www.physorg.com/news147624858.html Technology Thu, 04 Dec 2008 14:54:18 EST news147624858
