Whatever your preconceived notion of autonomous cars are, companies like Tesla and Google are bringing autonomous cars out of the sci-fi world and into a new reality — and just in time. Studies show that 90 percent of all traffic accidents occur due to driver error. While past advances have helped us make vehicles more…
Click Here to Read MoreSome of the latest developments in nanotechnology are enough to impress even the most brilliant scientist. For the average non-scientific consumer, the possibilities can be downright mind-blowing. The market financials are also a bit staggering. Worldwide, industry revenues are expected to grow by an annual CAGR of 17.5 percent through 2022, reaching a whopping $75.8…
Click Here to Read MoreJust because a material is a good substrate for making semiconductors doesn’t mean it will do everything the engineer wants it to do. In fact, surface modification — the act of modifying the surface of a material in a way that will affect its ultimate functioning — is integral to semiconductor manufacturing. The molecules and…
Click Here to Read MoreSemiconductor manufacturing is changing. In an industry closely associated with constantly changing products, this is a no-brainer. But something is happening at a more foundational level, and it’s really exciting. The biggest recent shift has been in working to improve semiconductor manufacturing products through processes that go far beyond the substrate, and scientific computation is…
Click Here to Read MoreReactions generated amazement, nitrogen ice cream was devoured, fire sprang to life and poems were whipped up as chemistry buffs across the nation celebrated National Chemistry Week Oct. 16–22. Some were even more innovative. In fact, one professor designed a step-by-step experiment for detecting cocaine on dollar bills, and others channeled Harry Potter to create…

At times like this, the world relies heavily on scientists and engineers for the brainpower and expertise needed to address the huge problems that result. The scientific community is…
Click Here to Read MoreThe essence of biometrics is using physical characteristics that are unique to each individual to identify one person from billions of others in the world. Early biometrics were somewhat low-tech; for example, fingerprinting originally required nothing more than some ink, a magnifying glass and a human who knew how to “read” the prints. Today’s biometrics…
Click Here to Read MoreBack in the ‘40s and ‘50s, when computers were just room-sized, relay-based calculators, no one probably thought much about integrating computing technology into automobiles. By 1965, computers were smaller multitaskers running simple software programs, yet the closest they came to automobiles was probably an advertisement that showed the PDP-8, the first minicomputer to enjoy commercial…
Click Here to Read MoreDirected self-assembly (DSA) refers to the integration of block copolymer (BCP) materials that undergo phase separation with traditional manufacturing processes. With DSA, nanoscale dimensions are achieved at a drastically reduced cost by novel material designs without additional equipment upgrades. Alternative lithographic approaches to achieve features ≤10 nanometers in size typically involve higher equipment budgets or…
