Physicists Observe Competition Between Magnetic Orders
They are as thin as a hair, only a hundred thousand times thinner–so-called two-dimensional materials, consisting of a single layer of atoms, have been booming in research for years.
STMicroelectronics Extends MasterGaN Family with New Device Optimized for Asymmetrical Topologies
Building upon the advantages of STMicroelectronics’ MasterGaN platform, MasterGaN2 is the first in the new family to contain two asymmetric gallium-nitride (GaN) transistors, delivering an integrated GaN solution suited to soft-switching and active-rectification converter topologies.
Gaining the GaN Advantage is Easier Than Ever
The increasing popularity of GaN solutions in power electronics has prompted many companies to rethink the way they build their power systems. In the last few years, GaN has proven to be reliable and pushing the boundaries in smaller, lighter, and more efficient power systems in data centers, automobiles, consumer electronics, renewable energy systems, and factories.

Si2 Workshop Explores Global Effort to Measure AI Compute Capacity and Infrastructure
An international effort to assess artificial intelligence compute capacity and help governments make informed AI infrastructure investments is the focus of an online workshop hosted by Silicon Integration Initiative, January 29, 8:00-10:00 am PST.
A Better Pen-And-Ink System for Drawing Flexible Circuits
Scientists report in ACS Applied Electronic Materials that they have developed inexpensive conductive inks for clog-free ballpoint pens that can allow users to “write” circuits almost anywhere — even on human skin.
Light-Carrying Chips Advance Machine Learning
In the digital age, data traffic is growing at an exponential rate. The demands on computing power for applications in artificial intelligence such as pattern and speech recognition in particular, or for self-driving vehicles, often exceeds the capacities of conventional computer processors.
