Graphene heater for phase-change switches Researchers from the University of Washington, Stanford University, Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, University of Maryland, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology designed an energy-efficient, silicon-based non-volatile switch that manipulates light through the use of a phase-change material and graphene heater. Aiming to reduce the power consum... » read more

Low temperature 3D bonding Scientists from Osaka University developed a new method for the direct three-dimensional bonding of copper electrodes using silver layers. The method works at low temperatures and does not require external pressure. "Our process can be performed under gentle conditions, at relatively low temperatures and without added pressure, but the bonds were able to withstand... » read more

ADC side-channel attacks Researchers at MIT propose two ways to protect analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) from power and electromagnetic side-channel attacks. The researchers first investigated the side-channel attacks that could be used against ADCs. Power attacks usually involve an attacker soldering a resistor onto the device’s circuit board to measure its power usage. An electromagn... » read more

Atomic-level rare earth manipulation Scientists from Ohio University, Argonne National Laboratory, and the University of Illinois at Chicago have rotated a single, charged rare earth molecule on a metal surface without changing the charge. The team used scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) system to rotate a positively charged Europium base molecule with negatively charged counterions as a p... » read more

Polarization for photonic processor Researchers from the University of Oxford and University of Exeter developed a photonic processor that uses multiple polarization channels, increasing information density. "We all know that the advantage of photonics over electronics is that light is faster and more functional over large bandwidths. So, our aim was to fully harness such advantages of phot... » read more
