MicroLEDs Moving From Lab to Fab

Semiconductor Engineering: Every disruptive technology has its “aha” moment — the time when everyone from engineers to investors realizes that, yes, this technology is the real deal and it won’t be scrapped on the R&D floor. For many, it was Samsung’s recent announcement of a 110-inch microLED TV that irrevocably…

No Antenna Could Survive Europa’s Brutal, Radioactive Environment—Until Now

IEEE Spectrum: Europa, one of Jupiter’s Galilean moons, has twice as much liquid water as Earth’s oceans, if not more. An ocean estimated to be anywhere from 40 to 100…

Scientists develop world’s thinnest magnet

E&T Magazine: Scientists in the US have developed an ultrathin magnet that operates at room temperature. They believe it could lead to new applications in computing and electronics and new tools for the study of quantum physics. According to the researchers,…

Google’s Quantum Computer Exponentially Suppresses Errors

IEEE Spectrum: In order to develop a practical quantum computer, scientists will have to design ways to deal with any errors that will inevitably pop up in its performance. Now Google has demonstrated that exponential suppression of such errors is possible,…
