To support more sophisticated and compact tablets, phones, watches and other wearables, the shrinking of semiconductor dies and packaged devices is proving as critical to microelectronics development as the relentless miniaturization defined by Moore’s Law.
Today, its lasers are used in 3D printing, for guidance systems in the aerospace and defense industries, and in microfabrication, where short laser pulses can vaporize materials or make holes with precision, a practice used by makers of semiconductors and ...
Scientists have designed a range of nanostructures resembling marine diatoms -- tiny unicellular creatures. To achieve this, they borrow techniques used by naturally-occurring diatoms to deposit layers of silica -- the primary constituent in glass -- in ...
The fruit fly brain contains roughly 100,000 neurons, which can now be traced in detail using a dataset that includes roughly 21 million images. Janelia scientists traced the paths of neurons (colored threads) that reach out to the mushroom body, a region ...
We love cars here at Digital Trends, but we don’t love everything about them. Something that’s right at the top of every car owner’s list of things they despise about car ownership? Defrosting a vehicle’s windows on cold winter mornings ...
