Integrated circuits are the "brain" in computers, cell phones, and many other electronic devices. Scientists have demonstrated substantial improvements in integrated circuits, also known as silicon ...

A new kind of processor that uses microwaves can be used in future AI systems or in wireless communications, a new study ...

As the saying goes, hindsight is 20/20. It may surprise you that the microchip that we all know and love today was far from an obvious idea. Some of the paths that were being explored back then to ...

As experimental quantum information processing (QIP) rapidly advances, an emerging challenge is to design a scalable architecture that combines various quantum elements into a complex device without ...

In a groundbreaking breakthrough, scientists have discovered an entirely new kind of microchip that uses microwaves rather ...

Wilmington, Massachusetts-based Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) designs, manufactures, tests, and markets integrated circuits (ICs ...

A new scanning microscope developed at Brown University can uncover defects in the smallest and most complex integrated circuits at a resolution 1,000 times greater than current technology. The ...

This Behind the Scenes article was provided to LiveScience in partnership with the National Science Foundation. Miniaturization is the principal driver of the semiconductor industry, and the most ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. Computer technology and the Internet ...

Researchers at Sun Microsystems Inc. have created a new way for computer components to communicate with each other that could ultimately spell the end of the integrated circuit board. The new ...

Scientists have created “electronic foils” that will allow circuits to conform to any surface — or get stretched, bent, and crumpled. The electronics may someday become as common as plastic wrap, ...
