Russian scientists have measured magnetoresistance oscillations and the quantum Hall effect in InAs heterostructures, and are predicting potential 200GHz operation from the material. The material tested was n-In0.85Ga0.18As/In0.82Al0.82As, specifically grown for its high indium content to increase carrier speed. “Generally speaking, structures with quantum wells and high InAs content have already demonstrated excellent results in microwave ...

Brain scanning is not possible through a hat, according to the University of Nottingham. The technique used is magnetoencephalography (MEG), which senses the tiny magnetic fields created by electrical signals in the brain. Once, this would have required bulky super-cooled equipment because it needed ‘squids’ – superconducting quantum interference devices – as sensors. In these ...

Rohm has introduced ‘high-fidelity’ power supply ICs aimed at audio devices requiring high-resolution audio play-back. Above the quality of CD audio, it sees high-resolution audio sources typically playing back at “greater than 96kHz and 24bit”. Called the BD372xx series, the regulators have a newly-developed fast error amp circuit and low-noise architecture. “Multiple parameters that were ...

Data has been stored using a unexpected spin phenomenon. Now called ‘zero field switching’ (ZFS), it could be used in compact lower-power memory and computing devices, according to Johns Hopkins University and the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The team discovered that magnetisation in a cobalt-iron-boron layer (see diagram) could be flipped ...
