Graphene Layer Enables Advance in Super-Resolution Microscopy
Researchers at the University of Göttingen have developed a new method that takes advantage of the unusual properties of graphene to electromagnetically interact with fluorescing (light-emitting) molecules. This method allows scientists to optically measure extremely small distances, in the order of 1 ångström (one ten-billionth of a meter) with high accuracy and reproducibility for the first time.
New Insulation Technique Paves The Way For More Powerful and Smaller Chips
Researchers at KU Leuven and imec have successfully developed a new technique to insulate microchips.

300mm Fab Equipment Spending to Seesaw, Reach New Highs in 2021 and 2023
300mm fab equipment spending will slowly recover in 2020 after the 2019 downturn and take off in 2021 to log a new record high topping US$60 billion, only to lag again in 2022 and rebound to an all-time peak in 2023, according to the SEMI Industry Research and Statistics group in its first edition of the 300mm Fab Outlook report.
Intel Lays Cornerstone for Mobileye’s New Global Development Center in Jerusalem
Mobileye President and CEO Prof. Amnon Shashua and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu laid the cornerstone for Mobileye’s new global development center in Jerusalem on Tuesday, Aug. 27, 2019.
Stretchable Wireless Sensor Could Monitor Healing of Cerebral Aneurysms
A wireless sensor small enough to be implanted in the blood vessels of the human brain could help clinicians evaluate the healing of aneurysms — bulges that can cause death or serious injury if they burst. The stretchable sensor, which operates without batteries, would be wrapped around stents or diverters implanted to control blood flow in vessels affected by the aneurysms.
