4. '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.

6. 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.

7. Single-pixel Camera Takes High-res Images: Engineers Use New Mathematics And Micro Mirrors In ...
   10-02-2006 · ScienceDaily
   Using new mathematics and a silicon chip covered with hundreds of thousands of bacterium-sized mirrors, Rice University engineers have designed a time-multiplexed camera that takes high-resolution images with a single photodiode. Today's battery-hungry megapixel cameras contain millions of photodiodes, but Rice's camera creates an image by capturing one pixel of light several thousands of times in succession. The research will be presented October 11 at Frontiers in Optics 2006 in Rochester, New York.
