Researchers at the University of Chicago have developed an “electronic glue” that could accelerate advances in semiconductor-based technologies, including solar cells and thermoelectric devices.

Scientists are on the trail of a new phenomenon, called the “colossal magnetoresistance effect” (CMR) which is up to a thousand times more powerful than current hard drive technology.

MIT engineers have built a fast, ultra-broadband, low-power radio chip, modeled on the human inner ear, that could enable wireless devices capable of receiving cell phone, Internet, radio and television signals.

The unique properties of thin layers of graphite – known as graphene – make the material attractive for a wide range of potential electronic devices.

Approximately a third of the electricity consumed by large data centers doesn’t power the computer servers that conduct online transactions, serve Web pages or store information. Instead, that electricity must be used for cooling the servers.

Discovery could eventually have implications in banking, drug design, and other applications.

Most chemical elements become superconducting at low temperatures or high pressures, but until now, copper, silver, gold, and the semiconductor germanium, for example, have all refused superconductivity.

Light switches, TV remote controls and even house keys could become a thing of the past thanks to brain-computer interface (BCI) technology being developed in Europe that lets users perform everyday tasks with thoughts alone.

Researchers have created a new type of invisibility cloak that is simpler than previous designs and works for all colors of the visible spectrum, making it possible to cloak larger objects

The varied algorithms from Bohemian Rhapsody could lead to improvements in the electrical engineers' song labeling and search engine system.
