At the University of Oklahoma, we developed a high-performance mid-infrared photonic sensing solution for the deployment of a scalable, continuous monitoring network for methane emissions in the Anadarko Basin, one of the largest oil and gas production basins in the USA.
The process of technology translation that brings innovations created in a laboratory to marketable technologies needs to be aided by scientific publishing that highlight real-life research-to-market experiences.
Many promising technologies created in academic laboratories struggle to transition to industry because of rapid shifts in research direction, funding constraints and complex challenges, hindering their full development. Here, the founders of ‘INBRAIN Neuroelectronics’, a start-up working on graphene-based high-precision neural interface systems, describe how a different outcome is possible.
A general-purpose framework and continuous miniaturization have been key to the success of CMOS technology. However, the recent explosion in compute requirements across a growing variety of architectures and applications is happening at a time when CMOS technology faces unprecedented scaling and cost challenges. This requires reimagining of the existing paradigm.
Electrical engineering has reached a level of complexity and required knowledge that now, more than ever, good storytellers are needed to amplify the achievements of the community.
Imagine a future in which your garments are intelligent, expressive and transform the way you perceive and communicate with your environment. This is the promise of e-textiles. E-textiles could revolutionize healthcare, communication and our relationship with technology. However, their sustainable commercialization requires a comprehensive approach that involves scientific advancements and ethical and societal evaluation.
The governments of nearly every major economy are pouring tens of billions of dollars into semiconductor industries every year. This Comment explores why governments see semiconductors as a strategic technology, and the tactics governments are using to shape the semiconductor industry.
In the process of memristive chip design, the intricate aspects of peripherals, programming, stability compensation and control logic are often neglected. Yet, the ultimate goal for commercial success hinges on new functionalities paired with a reliable chip that markedly surpasses CMOS in hardware performance and cost-efficiency.
