As the saying goes, hindsight is 20/20. It may surprise you that the microchip that we all know and love today was far from an obvious idea. Some of the paths that were being explored back then to ...

As with many inventions, two people had the idea for an integrated circuit at almost the same time. Transistors had become commonplace in everything from radios to phones to computers, and now ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. In cryptography and within embedded security ICs, the physically unclonable function (PUF) is used to create keys that are generated on-demand and ...

Integrated circuits (IC) serve as the backbone of any information system and mobile devices. This course provides an in-depth review of the advanced technology in ...

Such are the breadth of functions delivered by integrated circuits, it’s now rare to see a simple small-signal transistor ...

In the early digital era, logic gates were made exclusively of transistors and discrete components. The obvious occupation of a large space and increased heat dissipation pushed technology to ...

In a proof-of-concept study, researchers have created self-assembled, protein-based circuits that can perform simple logic functions. The work demonstrates that it is possible to create stable digital ...

The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Microsystems Technology Office is soliciting research proposals for the development of a new class of atom-based systems using integrated ...

CHANDLER, Ariz., Oct. 26, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The need to reduce size, weight and power (SWaP) on satellites and other space systems continues to challenge the aerospace market. Combining more ...
