South Korea's Hynix to close US chip plant(AP) -- Hynix Semiconductor Inc., the world's second-largest memory chip manufacturer, said Thursday it will close its only U.S. factory amid changes in production standards and steep price declines buffeting the industry. |
 Shimmering ferroelectric domainsFerroelectric materials are named after ferromagnetic ones because they behave in a similar way. The main difference: these materials are not magnetic, but permanently electrically polarized. They have great ... |
 Advance brings low-cost, bright LED lighting closer to realityResearchers at Purdue University have overcome a major obstacle in reducing the cost of "solid state lighting," a technology that could cut electricity consumption by 10 percent if widely adopted. |
 Researchers Create Enhanced Light Sources For LithographyA breakthrough discovery at UC San Diego may help aid the semiconductor industry’s quest to squeeze more information on chips to accelerate the performance of electronic devices. So far, the semiconductor ... |
 FLASH Imaging Redux: Nano-Cinema is Born Flash imaging of nanoscale objects undergoing ultrafast changes is now a technical possibility, according to a recent paper published in the June 22 edition of Nature Photonics. The results are a direct ... |
 New logic: the attraction of magnetic computationEuropean researchers are the first to demonstrate functional components that exploit the magnetic properties of electrons to perform logic operations. Compatible with existing microtechnology, the new approach ... |
Engineers show nanotube circuits can be made en masseMost innovations don't go far unless there is a way to turn them into products that are manufacturable on a mass scale. That's why new research on carbon nanotubes, presented June 19 by a group of Stanford electrical engineers, ... |
 New Nanowire-Based Memory Could Beef Up Information StorageResearchers from the University of Pennsylvania have created a type of nanowire-based information storage device that is capable of storing three bit values rather than the usual two—that is, "0," "1," and ... |
Researchers develop new technique for fabricating nanowire circuitsScientists at Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), collaborating collaborating with researchers from the German universities of Jena, Gottingen, and Bremen, have developed a new technique for fabricating ... |
 Exposing the Sensitivity of Extreme Ultraviolet PhotoresistsResearchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have confirmed that the photoresists used in next-generation semiconductor manufacturing processes now under development are twice as ... |
 Avalanche photodiodes target bioterrorism agentsResearchers have shown that a new class of ultraviolet photodiode could help meet the U.S. military's pressing requirement for compact, reliable and cost-effective sensors to detect anthrax and other bioterrorism ... |
 New Process Creates 3-D Nanostructures with Magnetic MaterialsMaterials scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a process to build complex, three-dimensional nanoscale structures of magnetic materials such as nickel or nickel-iron ... |
 Novel memory device is set to rival transistor-switched silicon-based memoryWorking with an international group of researchers, Professor Gehan Amaratunga has produced a novel memory device which is set to rival transistor-switched silicon-based memory. |
 'Nanoglassblowing' Seen as Boon to Study of Individual MoleculesWhile the results may not rival the artistry of glassblowers in Europe and Latin America, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and Cornell University have found beauty in a new ... |
 IBM Cools 3-D Chips with WaterIn IBM’s labs, tiny rivers of water are cooling computer chips that have circuits and components stacked on top of each other, a design that promises to advance Moore’s Law in the next decade and significantly ... |
