Huawei is said to be building a fab. It is reported that it will be running 45nm wafers by the end of the year. Huawei is supposed to have called the fab project ‘Tashan’ meaning courageous or daring. It is certainly that. Reports say that the 45nm line can be finalised without using US manufacturing ...

Five months ago, Apple was worth under $1 trillion. Now it’s worth $2 trillion. Although Apple had a good Q2 with revenues of nearly $60 billion, and has had a successful tilt towards services and has the launch of its first 5G phone imminent, the current share price says more about the market than about ...

The most commonly used capacitors have low energy densities compared to batteries or fuel cells, which in turn cannot discharge and recharge rapidly without sustaining damage. Now, researchers have found the best of both worlds. By introducing isolated defects to a type of commercially available thin film in a straightforward post-processing step, a team led ...

Adding a Schottky junction to certain crystals can turn them into piezoelectric or pyroelectric crystals, even if they were unaffected by deformation or heat before, according to the the University of Warwick, where the research was done. The subjects were ‘centrosymmetric’ semiconductors. niobium-doped strontium titanium oxide crystals niobium-doped titanium dioxide crystals niobium-doped barium strontium titanium ...

Newcastle-based Zytronic is to supply rugged 55inch custom touch screens to Italian vending machine maker PharmaShop24. These are huge machines, that vend 255 over-the-counter medicines from what amounts to a small robot-automated warehouse. To fit more product into a fixed space, PharmaShop realised that the traditional vending mechanism, where customers view products directly, was no ...

Flow batteries are energy storing structures that store chemical energy as liquid electrolytes in tanks, and pump those liquids to a reaction site – a membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) – when electricity must be produced or re-charge is needed. This separates the number of watts a flow battery can produce from the number of joules it can ...
