Silicon Wafer Shipments Slip in Third Quarter 2020 but Strong for Year
Worldwide silicon wafer area shipments contracted 0.5% to 3,135 million square inches in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of the year but registered a 6.9% increase from the 2,932 million square inches shipped one year ago during the same quarter.
Breakthrough Quantum-Dot Transistors Create a Flexible Alternative to Conventional Electronics
Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory and their collaborators from the University of California, Irvine have created fundamental electronic building blocks out of tiny structures known as quantum dots and used them to assemble functional logic circuits.
NUS Researchers Invent Flexible and Highly Reliable Sensor
Real-time health monitoring and sensing abilities of robots require soft electronics, but a challenge of using such materials lie in their reliability. Unlike rigid devices, being elastic and pliable makes their performance less repeatable. The variation in reliability is known as hysteresis.
Semtech Supports New IoT Solutions for Cloud-Managed Asset and Facility Monitoring Developed by Cisco
Semtech Corporation today announced that the LoRaWAN protocol, developed and managed by the LoRa Alliance, is providing new applications of IoT connectivity for new smart industrial control operations.
Despite Billions in Investment, Outdated Innovation Processes Threaten to Derail AI Progress
While manufacturing companies have been investing in AI heavily, the results have been mixed. Companies have been hampered because they have been using traditional processes to manage AI innovations.
