Molecular-scale devices could be precisely oriented on chips

E&T Magazine: Engineers from California Institute of Technology have placed molecule-scale devices in precise orientation, in a demonstration of a technique which paves the way for the integration of molecules with computer chips. The technique allowed them to place microscopic devices…

New Transistor Structures At 3nm/2nm

Semiconductor Engineering: Several foundries continue to develop new processes based on next-generation gate-all-around transistors, including more advanced high-mobility versions, but bringing these technologies into production is going to be difficult and expensive. Intel, Samsung, TSMC and others are laying the groundwork for the transition from today’s finFET transistors to new…

Quantum computing’s next trick? The power of networked clusters

Wired UK: Whatever their underlying technology, to achieve scale, quantum computers will need to go modular and be networked. In 2021 we will see the first demonstration of this. Quantum technology is often linked to three different areas of networking. The…

These five AI developments will shape 2021 and beyond

Technology Review: The year 2020 was profoundly challenging for citizens, companies, and governments around the world. As covid-19 spread, requiring far-reaching health and safety restrictions, artificial intelligence (AI) applications played a crucial role in saving lives and fostering economic resilience. Research…
