Sun Wins $44M to Speed Chips
SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 24, 2008 -- Sun Microsystems Inc. announced today it has received $44 million to speed computing by interconnecting an array of microchips into one "macrochip" using lasers instead of copper wires. If successful, the program could create a kind of "supercomputer on a chip" for applications that demand extreme computing and communication speeds, such as energy exploration, biotechnology and weather simulation. Sun said the $44.29 million, five-year contract from DARPA will fund an effort to use silicon...
FETs Fabbed with Fullerene
ATLANTA, Dec. 3, 2007 -- High-performance field-effect transistors (FETs) have been fabricated at room temperature using thin films of carbon 60 (C60), an organic semiconductor material also known as fullerene. The new transistors won't replace silicon-based CMOS chips but...
Counting Atoms — and Defects — in Semiconductors
Nov 1, 2007 — For semiconductors, the mantra is “smaller, faster, cheaper.” Continuing shrinkage of transistors has allowed industry to follow the axiom known as Moore’s law for decades. Eventually, transistors will be so small that the number of atoms present...
Nanotech Pioneer to Receive Waterman Award
WASHINGTON, May 14, 2007 -- Nanotechnology expert Peidong Yang will receive the National Science Foundation's (NSF) 2007 Alan T. Waterman Award today in a ceremony at the US State Department. Yang has pioneered research on nanowires, strings of atoms that show promise for a...
New Technique Brings Flexible Electronics Closer to Reality
LOS ANGELES and STANFORD, Calif., Dec. 13, 2006 -- Researchers have devised a method for printing patterns of high-performance organic single-crystal transistors on surfaces such as silicon wafers and flexible plastic, which could enable fast, bendable electronics such as low-cost sensors on product...
Graphene Discovery Leads to Top Physics Prize
MANCHESTER, England, Oct. 23, 2006 -- A discovery that could lead to computers being made from one-atom-thick sheets of carbon has netted a British scientist one of England's top physics prizes. Professor Andre Geim of the University of Manchester School of Physics and Astronomy has...
NanoSensors Signs License Agreement With Pohang University
Sep 12, 2006 — Santa Clara, Calif.-based nanotechnology development company NanoSensors Inc., a maker of instruments and sensors to detect explosives, chemical and biological agents, announced that it has signed a technology license agreement with Korea's Pohang...
Kopin Names Telecommunications Vet to Board

News Briefs (March 24, 2006)
Mar 24, 2006 — University of Texas at Austin (UT) microelectronics researcher and computer and electrical engineering professor Sanjay Banerjee has received $500,000 from the Department of Defense to research ways to use nanotechnology to speed the silicon-based...
APA Sells Its MOCVD Operations for $1.9M
Mar 15, 2006 — MINNEAPOLIS, March 15, 2006 -- Saying it wants its Optronics Div. to focus solely on gallium nitride (GaN) products in ultraviolet detectors and transitors, APA Enterprises Inc. announced today that it has sold its multiwafer metal organic chemical...
University of Rochester Receives Research Grant
Feb 1, 2006 — The University of Rochester’s Center for Electronic Imaging Systems in New York has received $1 million from the New York State Office of Technology and Academic Research to develop ways of shrinking computer circuits to the nanoelectronics scale....
When the Chips Are Down, It's Microscopy to the Rescue
Feb 1, 2005 — Integrated circuits are modern miracles, cramming tens of millions of transistors into thumbnail-size chips. But there’s a dark lining to this silver cloud — one that a terahertz microscopy technique under investigation by scientists at Okayama...
Motorola Labs Studying Carbon Nanotube Technology
Oct 21, 2003 — TEMPE, Ariz., Oct. 21 -- Scientists at Motorola Labs are researching ways to improve control in the growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) that can make transistors smaller and faster and chemical/biological detectors ultrasensitive. "CNTs can play a...
