ADI has urged the US Department of Commerce (DoC) and the EU to break down non-tariff barriers to trade in technology components and systems. Regulations such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the US’s International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) inhibited the export trade in technology components and systems, argues ADI. ADI would like ...

IR optoelectronics, traditionally based on III-V semiconductors, could be based on colloidal quantum dots which would overcome III-V’s disadvantage of  CMOS incompatibility, says Barcelona’s Institute of Photonics (ICFO). ICFO researchers have discovered that by controlling defects in materials one can extend the semiconductor’s spectral reach beyond its bandgap, expanding thereby the material availability for the ...
