Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Microelectronic Circuits and Systems (IMS) have developed a new type of high-temperature process which means that the compact microchips require no additional cooling in order to withstand the intense heat.
Conceptual design of MAP-nDEP tweezers. a) Schematic of chip layout: Circu-lar magnetic nickel pads (blue) were flanked by interdigitated gold electrodes (red). b) Paramagnetic beads were introduced to chip surface by microfluidics and loaded onto the ...
Temperatures often over 200°C occur in geothermal and oil production--conventional microelectronics hit their limits there. Researchers have now fabricated compact microchips that can keep their cool even at 300°C. An enormous treasure slumbers in the ...
Graphene transmits signals on a micro scale meaning you can make devices thinner than ever. It's a reasonably new discovery as it was found in 2004 and the aim now is to place it in chips replacing much thicker silicon. Samsung has now found a way ...
The anode is actually composed of carbon nanomaterial graphene. Other microbial fuel cells used graphene oxide, but the researchers showed that pure multi-layered graphene can serve as a suitable anode material. While the researchers tested this mini ...
