Lead-Free Magnetic Perovskites

Scientists at Linköping University, Sweden, working with the perovskite family of materials have taken a step forwards and developed an optoelectronic magnetic double perovskite. The discovery opens the possibility to couple spintronics with optoelectronics for rapid and energy-efficient information storage.

Next-Generation Computer Chip With Two Heads

EPFL engineers have developed a computer chip that combines two functions – logic operations and data storage – into a single architecture, paving the way to more efficient devices.

SK hynix to Acquire Intel NAND Memory Business

SK hynix and Intel will endeavor to obtain required governmental approvals, expected in late 2021.

Optoelectronics, Sensors/Actuators, Discretes Stabilize in Covid-19 Crisis

About eight months after the Covid-19 virus pandemic accelerated around the world, sales of optoelectronics, sensors and actuators, and discrete semiconductors have stabilized, and in some cases, revenues have begun showing signs of a slight recovery in the second half of 2020

IAR Systems Brings Functional Safety Tools to RISC-V With Certification For IEC 61508 and ISO 26262

IAR Systems, the future-proof supplier of software tools and services for embedded development, further extends its strong tools offering for RISC-V by announcing a certified version of its development tools.

Large-Area Flexible Organic Photodiodes Can Compete With Silicon Devices

The performance of flexible large-area organic photodiodes has advanced to the point that they can now offer advantages over conventional silicon photodiode technology, particularly for applications such as biomedical imaging and biometric monitoring that require detecting low levels of light across large areas.

Next-Generation Computer Chip With Two Heads

It’s a major breakthrough in the field of electronics. Engineers at EPFL’s Laboratory of Nanoscale Electronics and Structures (LANES) have developed a next-generation circuit that allows for smaller, faster and more energy-efficient devices – which would have major benefits for artificial-intelligence systems.

System Integration Key to First IC/Package Co-Design Tool Success

A proprietary system integration platform is proving the key to early trial success of MZ Technology’s GENIO IC/Package Co-Design EDA Tool. GENIO became the first commercially available IC/Package Co-Design Tool when MZ Technologies began taking order in August.
