Intel entered the burgeoning clean-tech sector on Monday by creating SpectraWatt, a spinoff company that will manufacture solar cells, following IBM's latest foray into solar technology
Thirty-seven years ago, Leon Chua, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley, theorised that symmetry demands that there should be a fourth fundamental circuit element, the "memristor" or memory resistor. Now HP thinks its memristor will improve memory and circuit design.
Can scientists use the binary of biology, DNA, to grow carbon nanotubes into more efficient circuits? IBM thinks so.
US researchers have created a radio using carbon nanotubes so tiny it can fit on a grain of sand, showing how nanotubes could soon be used to make more efficient electronic devices.
A team of American scientists have developed a flexible, paper battery which could power electronic devices in the future.
It's been a long time coming, but it seems that OLED displays are finally beginning to creep onto the market.
A tie-up with Saleforce.com sees Google pushing even further into Microsoft's businesss applications territory
The only question is which approach will work best -- using molten silicon, designer molecules, or maybe protein globules?
A scientist has detailed how to create inexpensive semiconducting plastics that may finally fulfill the promise of reducing the cost of display technology for laptops, mobile phones and other devices.
HP Labs is leading a project to find new ways to boost silicon-based memory and processor technology far beyond its current limits.
Intel plans to unveil more details behind its Tri-Gate transistor, an experimental circuit that could be important in the company's quest to keep up with Moore's Law.
Researchers at Stanford and UC Berkeley have come up with a way to grow carbon nanotubes on silicon wafers and to test the nanotubes, which could help pave the way for carbon chips.
Motorola is conducting research in a new type of large flat-panel display which they claim has the potential of being cheaper than plasma or LCD (liquid crystal display) screens.
TV screens on cornflake packets and glowing clothes? Organic LEDs lead the way to more efficient, flexible disposable displays.
As a size barrier looms for the memory chips, the industry works to come up with a successor.
A scientist at Xerox on Tuesday detailed how to create inexpensive semiconducting plastics that may finally fulfill the promise of reducing the cost of display technology for laptops, cell phones and other devices.
