UCLA engineers set new world record in generation of high-frequency submillimeter waves

Researchers at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science have achieved a new world record in high-frequency submillimeter waves. The record-setting 324-gigahertz frequency was accomplished using a voltage-controlled oscillator in a 90-nanometer complementary metal-oxide semiconductor integrated circuit.

1. World's most complex silicon phased-array chip developed at UC-San Diego
   10-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
   UC-San Diego electrical engineers have developed the world's most complex 'phased array' -- or radio frequency integrated circuit. This DARPA-funded advance is expected to find its way into US defense satellite communication and radar systems. In addition, the innovations in this chip design will likely spill over into commercial applications, such as automotive satellite systems for direct broadcast TV, and new methods for high-speed wireless data transfer.

2. Television just got brighter: UCLA engineers are obsessed with the next generation of LEDs
   05-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Making LEDs, or light-emitting diodes -- which illuminate today's plasma TV screens and cell phones more efficient -- cheaper and higher quality is the obsession that occupies the daily thoughts of UCLA Engineering professor Yang Yang and researcher Jinsong Huang. They have recently achieved the highest lumens per watt ever recorded for a red phosphorescent LED using a new combination of plastic, or polymer, infused liquid -- and they did it at half the current cost.

6. European heat waves double in length since 1880
   08-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
   The most accurate measures of European daily temperatures ever indicate that the length of heat waves on the continent has doubled and the frequency of extremely hot days has nearly tripled in the past century. The new data shows that many previous assessments of daily summer temperature change underestimated heat wave events in western Europe by approximately 30 percent.
