Quantum tunneling creates fast lane for wireless

Article Abstract:

Silicon circuits are now 60-gigahertz, allowing for data transfer, but Colorado-based Phiar Corp. uses a mix of metals and insulators to make cheap 60-Ghz technology that can achieve quantum tunneling. Metal insulators are viable alternatives to semiconductors. Details on quantum tunneling and the use of semiconductor alternatives are discussed.

Power up: could an agency modeled on DARPA recharge U.S. energy R&D?

Article Abstract:

The Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy's (ARPA-E) purpose is to create an elite research unit to develop high-risk, high-reward energy technologies. The unit was created by house bill 2272 with the goal of mimicking the success of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in the military technology research field.

Transistors go vertical: the semiconductor industry fights silicon sprawl by building up, not out

Article Abstract:

The semiconductor industry is redesigning transistors into three-dimensional structures to completely stop the flow of electrons. Multiple gates are now used in transistor design to control the flow of electrons, although technology nodes beyond 22 nm might not deliver a better performance than flat transistors.
