IDT has launched an Open High-Performance Analytics and Computing (HPAC) Lab to address the needs of enterprise and cloud computing end users. The lab supports heterogeneous processing technologies from CPU and accelerator vendors who are connecting their hardware with IDT's portfolio of RapidIO and PCIe interconnect semiconductors, advanced ti...

An international collaboration led by the University of Cambridge and IBM has developed a method that allows combinations of different materials to be grown in a nanowire, providing what the team calls 'a useful building block' for electrical, optical and energy harvesting devices."The key to building functional nanoscale devices i...

Looking to demonstrate the benefits of nano-patterning technology and spread its use beyond semiconductors, CEA-Leti and EV Group have launched the INSPIRE programme."Leti and EVG have a long history of collaborating on ways to bring new technologies to market at reasonable costs for the benefits of our customers," said Laurent Pain,...

Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPI-P) in Mainz have discovered that electrical conduction in graphene is governed by the same basic laws that describe the thermal properties of gases. The team says this much simpler thermodynamic approach to the electrical conduction will allow scientists to better understand how graph...

Ensoft has donated £50,000 to The National Museum of Computing (TNMOC), which will be used to assist in the Museum's development.Tim Reynolds, chairman of TNMOC, said: "Recognition of TNMOC's achievements by a company as dynamic as Ensoft is a great boost to our work and underlines the educational value of computing history t...

Silicon Labs has introduced its Thread networking solution, offering developers the fastest path to developing Thread-compliant products for the IoT including thermostats, wireless sensor networks, smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, connected lighting devices, control panels, wireless access points and gateways.Thread technology is said to fill a...

Continental has used a prototype vehicle to demonstrate how a camera monitor system can replace a car's exterior and interior mirrors. Instead of the rear-view mirror, the driver has two monitors with organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) oriented in the usual viewing directions and displaying what is happening at the rear and sides of the vehi...

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport and Innovate UK are encouraging UK cities and businesses to apply for a £10million fund in a competition that will revolutionise the way the Internet of Things (IoT) benefits citizens by offering environmental improvements, economic opportunities, and more efficient and effective delivery of service...

Imec and Panasonic have fabricated a 2Mbit resistive RAM (RRAM) cell based on TaOx technology on a 40nm process. The approach, said to have precise filament positioning and high thermal stability, is believed to pave the way to realising 28nm embedded applications.RRAM is based on current or voltage induced switching of a resistive element mate...

According to Applied Materials, the move to 3D devices is driving demand for atomic layer deposition (ALD) equipment that can enable new patterning films, new conformal materials and lower thermal budgets.Looking to meet these needs, the company has introduced the Olympia system, which is said to bring the flexibility needed to allow low temper...
