Nano Bulb Lights Novel Path
What may be viewed as the world’s smallest incandescent lightbulb is shining in a Rice University engineering laboratory with the promise of advances in sensing, photonics and perhaps computing platforms beyond the limitations of silicon. Gururaj Naik of Rice’s Brown School of Engineering and graduate student Chloe Doiron have assembled unconventional “selective thermal emitters” — collections of near-nanoscale materials that absorb heat and emit light.
The Future of ‘Extremely’ Energy-Efficient Circuits
Data centers are processing data and dispensing the results at astonishing rates and such robust systems require a significant amount of energy — so much energy, in fact, that information communication technology is projected to account for 20% of total energy consumption in the United States by 2020. To answer this demand, a team of researchers from Japan and the United States have developed a framework to reduce energy consumption while improving efficiency.
Scientists Create Fully Electronic 2-Dimensional Spin Transistors
Physicists from the University of Groningen constructed a two-dimensional spin transistor, in which spin currents were generated by an electric current through graphene.
