The integration of single-spin magnetoelectronics into standard silicon technology may soon be possible, if experiments confirm a new theoretical prediction by physicists at the Naval Research ...

Silicon has reigned supreme in electronics for the better part of a century, and now a new version might help extend its use into the future. Engineers at North Carolina State University (NCSU) have ...

A new theoretical study led by University of Delaware engineers reveals that magnons, a type of magnetic spin wave, can ...

Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it's a semiconductor, this material can control the flow of electricity in a circuit. But silicon has ...

Nano-ribbons of silicon configured so the atoms resemble chicken wire could hold the key to ultrahigh density data storage and information processing systems of the future. This was a key finding of a ...

Computer engineering, but in particular mobile computer engineering, is all about playing a zero-sum game with yourself. Power and efficiency are constantly undercutting one another, creating ...

MIT engineers have developed a magnetic transistor that could pave the way for smaller, faster, and more efficient electronics. By replacing silicon with a magnetic semiconductor, the team created a ...

In the race to make solar energy cheaper and more efficient, a team of UNSW Sydney scientists and engineers have found a way to push past one of the biggest limits in renewable technology.

The Purcell effect is commonly used to increase the spontaneous emission rate by modifying the local environment of a light emitter. The photon state density near the light emitter can be adjusted ...
