High-Quality Boron Nitride Grown at Atmospheric Pressure
Graphene Flagship researchers at RWTH Aachen University, Germany and ONERA-CNRS, France, in collaboration with researchers at the Peter Grunberg Institute, Germany, the University of Versailles, France, and Kansas State University, US, have reported a significant step forward in growing monoisotopic hexagonal boron nitride at atmospheric pressure for the production of large and very high-quality crystals.
Terahertz Science Discloses the Ultrafast Photocarrier Dynamics in Carbon Nanotubes
A team of researchers from Osaka University, TU Wien, Nanyang Technological University, Rice University, University of Alberta and Southern Illinois University-Carbondale comes closer to unraveling the physics of quasiparticles in carbon nanotubes.
Intel Commits $50M with Pandemic Response Initiative to Combat Coronavirus
Today, Intel is pledging an additional $50 million in a pandemic response technology initiative to combat the coronavirus through accelerating access to technology at the point of patient care, speeding scientific research and ensuring access to online learning for students.
Advanced Memory from Advanced Materials
Researchers successfully demonstrated a method to switch a novel material between two different nonvolatile states at very high speeds and with great accuracy. The physical constituents of the device in question are significantly robust against external influences such as magnetic fields. These facts together mean a high-speed and high-capacity memory device could be created. Such a device would also be extremely energy efficient.
Photonic Microwave Generation Using On-Chip Optical Frequency Combs
In recent years there has been significant progress on chip-scale frequency combs generated from nonlinear microresonators driven by continuous-wave lasers. These frequency combs rely on the formation of dissipative Kerr solitons, which are ultrashort coherent light pulses circulating inside optical microresonators. Because of this, these frequency combs are commonly called “soliton microcombs”.
US Manufacturing Partnership Supports COVID-19 Fight
As hospital capacities are being expanded to face the increasing number of COVID-19 patients, the demand for medical air compressors, vacuum systems, and medical gas pipeline is increasing as well. As a medical gas equipment manufacturer, Powerex is part of a critical infrastructure industry designated by the Department of Homeland Security; since Busch Vacuum Solutions is a key supply partner for Powerex, they are deemed critical infrastructure as well.
Choppy Waters for Shipping $50B of Semiconductor Materials in 2020
Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy is creating choppy waters for shipping and supplying critical materials, as highlighted in recent Critical Materials Council (CMC) monthly meetings.
Nordic Semiconductor Joins ZBOSS Open Initiative
DSR Corporation announces that Nordic Semiconductor, a global leader in short range wireless and low power cellular IoT technologies, has joined the ZBOSS Open Initiative (ZOI), a community of companies with a shared understanding of the necessity to have a common Zigbee® PRO software platform to overcome, together, the challenges around interoperability, security, testing, and optimization of Zigbee®-enabled products and solutions.
Revenue Management Challenges Cost High Tech Companies Billions, According to New Model N Research
