A modern twist on a trusted old technology--the electromechanical relay--could lead to ultralow-power chips
MIT's Medical Electronic Device Realization Center forges a path connecting microelectronics and new health-care tools.
Jesús del Alamo, the Donner Professor, MacVicar Faculty Fellow and Professor of Electrical Engineering in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science EECS‚ has been recognized by Intel with the 2012 Intel Outstanding Researcher Award in Emerging Research Devices for his "Feasibility Study of InGaAs-based Quantum-Well Field-Effect Transistors for Ultra High Speed, Low Power Logic Applications."
The data-routing techniques that undergird the Internet could increase the efficiency of multicore chips while lowering their power requirements.
Government investment in the manufacture of micromachines could pay huge dividends, but in the meantime, MIT researchers are developing new fabrication techniques.
