Acoustic wave coupling enables all-silicon laser

By

Yale scientists have uses acoustic waves to amplify light in a new type of silicon laser for photonic ICs, side-stepping the problem of silicon’s indirect bandgap. “Silicon’s intrinsic properties, although very useful for many chip-scale optical technologies, make it extremely difficult to generate laser light using electrical current,” said Yale scientist Nils Otterstrom. “It’s a …

Frequency hopping once per bit foils hackers

By

MIT researchers have developed a novel transmitter that frequency hops for each individual 1 or 0 bit of a data packet – so once per microsecond for 1Mbit/s, “which is fast enough to thwart even the quickest hackers”, according to MIT. The system can protect against selective jamming. For example, explained the University, Bluetooth LE …

The Parable

By

George Gilder’s book Microcosm quotes Gordon Moore’s Parable of the Microchip which runs: “We needed a substrate for our chip. So we looked at the substrate of the earth itself. It was mostly sand. So we used that.” “We needed a metal conductor for the wires and switches on the chip. We looked at all …
