ST’s declining position in MEMS, once the jewel in its crown, sees no sign of ending. According to Yole Development, ST’s MEMS revenues have declined for three years running. For ST, which had been given the No.1 position in the MEMS industry because Pasquale Pistorio had invested in MEMS development several years ahead of the …

Cree has further up-graded its XP-G lighting LED, to version 3. XP-G3 delivers 31% more lumens and 8% higher lm/W that the XP-G2. “XP-G3 LED improves the lumen density, voltage characteristics and reliability of previous XP-G generations,” said Cree, claiming over 205 lm/W at 350mA and up to 863 lm at 2A will be available …

Cree beats 200lm/W in lighting LED

Researchers at Princeton University are predicting a state of matter in which current flows only through surface channels over an insulator. These channels are created through the action of the ‘hourglass fermion’, a theorised particle which arises due to a special property of the material. “The tuning of this property can sequentially create and destroy …
