A team of researchers, led by a group from the University of California, Riverside, claims to have demonstrated the first transmission of electrical signals through insulators in a sandwich-like structure, a development that could help create more energy efficient electronic devices.The UC Riverside-led research is said to be significant becaus...

Keysight Technologies has announced turn-on chipsets using indium phosphide (InP) semiconductor technology that it says will bring real-time and equivalent-time oscilloscopes offering bandwidths greater than 100GHz.The company says the oscilloscopes will also feature 10-bit A/D converters and more than one maximum bandwidth input channel per os...

SmartKem has reported its solution-processed organic semiconductor, tru-FLEX, has set a world record in digital circuit performance. The tru-FLEX-based five-stage organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) ring oscillator using solution coating is claimed to operate with an oscillation frequency above 500kHz and stage delay of less than 200ns.This is...

Finland's VTT Technical Research Centre and Aalto University, together with a number of partners, are embarking on a project to develop optical switching and transmission technologies. The work is intended to improve the scalability and energy efficiency of data centres and 5G networks.The project, part of Finnish funding agency Tekes&rsquo...

Nanoelectronics research centre imec and Holst Centre have developed an ECG readout chip which uses time domain circuit techniques. According to the partners, the device offers consistent beat detection abilities and may pave the way for low cost, low power multisensor SoCs for wearable medical devices.The chip, which has an area of 0.015mm2, i...
