Noted author and futurist Ray Kurzweil wrote back in 2001, "We won’t experience 100 years of progress in the 21st century — it will be more like 20,000 years of progress. . . ." From the invention of the first integrated circuit in 1958, technology has evolved at an unbelievable rate, and, as Kurzweil suggests, that won't…
Click Here to Read MoreNow that Brewer Science is leading the charge in improving directed self-assembly (DSA) technology, products such as semiconductors, computer hard drives, and drug therapies can benefit from new manufacturing methods that can make complex structures as small as 7 nanometers. The technology allows for higher product volumes and lower costs than in the past, all…

Moore coined the famous Moore's Law, predicting that the number of transistors in integrated circuits (and by extension, processing power) would double each year from then on. Though more of an observational musing than a physical law, it has been remarkably accurate ever since. The principle of Moore's…
Click Here to Read MoreWe sat down with our engineers to get their insights on where the spin-coating industry is headed. We were met with an overwhelming response identifying the need for data streaming in real time. Although the spin-coating process is considered to be very efficient, there is always room for improvement. Real-time data monitoring and process transparency…
Click Here to Read MoreHere at Brewer Science, we are striving to reach zero-landfill status. Our efforts in environmental responsibility include our mini-bin recycling program and our installation of efficient water and electrical fixtures. Our latest environmentally responsible venture involves a large metal container in our parking lot – a trash compactor we’ve affectionately named Big Blue. This large,…

And if his coworkers appreciate their personal freedoms, they could also give the former National Guardsman a nod. The graduate of Missouri University of Science & Technology (back then it…
Click Here to Read MoreThe terms "quantity" and "quality" are often discussed in "either/or" scenarios. On one side, you get a lot of something. On the other side, you get the best of something else. In these scenarios, you can't have both, at least not at the same time. In the semiconductor industry, there is constant innovation and limit…

If this is the case (and we whole-heartedly believe it is), the future looks bright. Recently, an inquisitive student was researching Alzheimer’s disease and some possible ways carbon nanotubes (CNTs) could help…

These two recent events, however, seemed to leave something out: computers. September’s presentation was over two hours long and didn’t once mention the flagship devices that put…
Click Here to Read MoreYou show me someone who lives in a low-lying area and I’ll show you someone who understands how damaging water can be. Water is essential to all life here on earth. The planet is mostly water. Our bodies are mostly water. Life as we know it would not exist were it not for the…
