Nanowire Could Provide a Stable, Easy-To-Make Superconducting Transistor
Superconductors — materials that conduct electricity without resistance — are remarkable. They provide a macroscopic glimpse into quantum phenomena, which are usually observable only at the atomic level. Beyond their physical peculiarity, superconductors are also useful. They’re found in medical imaging, quantum computers, and cameras used with telescopes. But superconducting devices can be finicky. Often, they’re expensive to manufacture and prone to err from environmental noise. That could change, thanks…
TES America Completes Acquisition and Relaunches Iconic MicroTouch Brand
TES America LLC, a pioneer in the touch solutions market, announced today it has finalized the acquisition of certain assets from 3M Touch Systems, a subsidiary of 3M Company. Along with the purchase, TES acquired the iconic MicroTouch brand of touch monitors and is relaunching the company today, bringing back a cultural icon that created the world’s leading touchscreen technology nearly 40 years ago.

A Scalable Method for the Large-Area Integration of 2D Materials
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have a huge potential for providing devices with much smaller size and extended functionalities with respect to what can be achieved with today’s silicon technologies. But to exploit this potential we must be able to integrate 2D materials into semiconductor manufacturing lines – a notoriously difficult step. A team of Graphene Flagship researchers in Sweden and Germany now reports a new method to make this work. The…
Wafer-Scale Production of Graphene-Based Photonic Devices
Our world needs reliable telecommunications more than ever before. However, classic devices have limitations in terms of size and cost and, especially, power consumption – which is directly related to greenhouse emissions. Graphene could change this and transform the future of broadband. Now, Graphene Flagship researchers have devised a wafer-scale fabrication technology that, thanks to predetermined graphene single-crystal templates, allows for integration into silicon wafers, enabling automation and paving the…
