Researcher at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati have found a way to get more light out of LED die using nano-scale metal particles. This has nothing to do with making the particles into phosphors. Instead, is is a way of preventing light bouncing back into into a conventional LED die from the die-encapsulant boundary ...

The University of Arkansas is claiming a first – an electrically-pumped germanium-tin laser grown monolithically on silicon. Electrical pumping is a big deal – many proof-of-concept semiconductor lasers, including an earlier version of this device, have to have their operating energy delivered optically through other lasers. However, the laser still requires cryogenic cooling to function. ...

Smiths Interconnect has released a series of high frequency surface mount chip PCB line terminations. Called CTX SMT, and based on thin-film construction, the devices work across dc-67GHz and handle up to 1W of power. VSWR is typically 1.25:1, and 1.50:1 max in a 50Ω system, and 10x pulses can be handled (1µs at 1% ...

For those getting fed up with waiting for teleportation there’s an interim step now available – holoportation. For $60,000 you can buy a machine called a HOLOPORTL which lets you talk in real-time with a life-sized hologram of someone else. Makes Zoom look a trifle shabby? The HOLOPORTL is made by an LA company called ...

Arduino and Google have agreed that the Google Science Journal will be transferring over to Arduino control from this September. The journal was originally a Google initiative to encourage students to explore the world around them and record their observations as they conduct their own experiments. It was an open source project, and with ...
