The U.S. government has its eyes on “cryogenically cooled circuitry for tomorrow's exascale computers,” reported Spectrum.IEEE.org, a dream over 50 years old. An electrical engineer of the NSA, Dudley Buck, “reported on his own work” in the 1950’s about a “novel superconducting switch he named the cryotron,” according to Spectrum IEEE, and said that “the device works by … [Read more...]
New 2D Semiconductor Performs Better Than Silicon
A team of engineers from the University of Utah have discovered a new 2D semiconducting material that could outperform silicon, making electronics cooler and more efficient. “The semiconductor, made of the elements tin and oxygen, or tin monoxide (SnO), is a layer of 2D material only one atom thick, allowing electrical charges to move through it much faster than conventional … [Read more...]
More Energy Efficient Future Supercomputers Thanks to ATP Chemical Found in Humans
Recently, scientists from McGill University have discovered that ATP, “a chemical which provides energy to cells inside the human body, could also power an energy efficient biological supercomputer,” according to Valuewalk.com. Valuewalk said the researchers replaced electrons with Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) “when building chips, in order to reduce costs and cool the … [Read more...]
New High-Performance Thermal Interface Thin Film
Fujipoly recently introduced its new thin film, thermal interface product, Sarcon® YR‐c. The Sarcon® YR‐c effectively eliminates near‐microscopic air gaps that exist between components when placed between a heat source such as a high‐performance semiconductor and a nearby heatsink, said Fujipoly. The Sarcon® YR‐c delivers a thermal conductivity of 4.0 W/m°K with a thermal … [Read more...]
Scientists Grow Efficient Light-Emitting Organic Semiconductor Crystals
Recently, scientists from the faculty of physics of the Moscow State University have grown organic semiconductor crystals with extremely high light-emitting efficiency that can reduce the cost of creating light, flexible, and transparent light-emitting electronic devices, according to Phys.org. They challenged the growing of organic semiconductor crystals from a vapor phase … [Read more...]
