- Flexible electronics could find applications as sensors, artificial muscles
04-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
Flexible electronic structures with the potential to bend, expand and manipulate electronic devices are being developed by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. These flexible structures could find useful applications as sensors and as electronic devices that can be integrated into artificial muscles or biological tissues.

- New circuits could impact consumer electronics
02-15-2007 · Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Analog circuits haven't enjoyed the same rate of progress as digital circuits, and are draining power and causing other bottlenecks in improved consumer electronic devices. Now MIT engineers have devised new analog circuits they hope will change that.

- Deflecting damage: Flexible electronics aid brain injury research
04-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
Flexible electronic membranes may overcome a longstanding dilemma faced by brain researchers: How to replicate injuries in the lab without destroying the electrodes that monitor how brain cells respond to physical trauma. The systems could allow far more nuanced studies of brain injury than previously possible and may lead to better treatments in the minutes and hours immediately following the injury.

- 'Hybrid' semiconductors show zero thermal expansion; Could lead to hardier electronics
12-19-2007 · EurekAlert!
The fan in your computer is there to keep the microprocessor chip from heating to the point where its component materials start to expand, inducing cracks that interrupt the flow of electricity -- and not incidentally, ruin the chip. Thermal expansion can also separate semiconducting materials from the substrate, reduce performance through changes in the electronic structure of the material or warp the delicate structures that emit laser light.

- New analog circuits could impact consumer electronics
02-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
Advances in digital electronic circuits have prompted the boost in functions and ever- smaller size of such popular consumer goods as digital cameras. But the same cannot be said of the older analog circuits in the same devices, which process natural sights and sounds in the real world. They are draining power and causing other bottlenecks in improved consumer electronic devices. Now MIT engineers have devised new analog circuits they hope will change that.

- Linear arrays of nanotubes offer path to high-performance electronics
03-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
Despite the attractive electrical properties and physical features of single-walled carbon nanotubes, incorporating them into scalable integrated circuits has proven to be a challenge because of difficulties in manipulating and positioning these molecular scale objects and in achieving sufficient current outputs.Researchers have now developed an approach that uses dense arrays of aligned and linear nanotubes as a thin-film semiconductor material suitable for integration into electronic devices.

- Where has all the antimatter gone?
04-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists from the Universities of Liverpool and Glasgow have completed work on the inner heart of an experiment which seeks to find out what has happened to all the antimatter created at the start of the Universe. Matter and antimatter were created in equal amounts in the Big Bang but somehow the antimatter disappeared resulting in the Universe, and everything in it, including ourselves, being made of the remaining matter.
