Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. announced today that it has joined the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC), the world’s largest industry coalition committed to creating shared value for the businesses, people, and communities who collectively contribute to the manufacture of electronic devices around the world. ASE’s membership further represents the Company’s resolve to align and work with suppliers and partners that share similar values regarding sustainability.
Dendrites are small, pin-like fibers that can short circuit rechargeable batteries and which in turn can promote fire hazards and restrict the capability of batteries to store up renewable energy or power smart phones. Now, a novel electrolyte developed for lithium batteries removes dendrites and at the same time makes batteries highly efficient by allowing them to carry a considerable amount of electric current. Batteries that use other dendrite-restricting solutions have failed to sustain current densities and high efficiencies. The study has been described in Nature Communications.
Researchers at MIT have developed a new method that could transform the way of developing high-quality fiber-based electronic devices. For many years, researchers have known how to obtain thin fibers from materials.
Researchers at Western Michigan University and the University of Michigan are studying a group of novel materials that could reduce power consumption and create higher computational speeds even in adverse conditions.
Scientists at Bourns College of Engineering of the University of California, Riverside (UC Riverside) have created a new material for lithium-ion batteries that contains sponge-like silicon nanofibers. This paper-like material is over 100X thinner than human hair and could significantly improve the specific energy or the quantity of energy that can be supplied per unit weight of the battery. This latest breakthrough holds promising applications in batteries for personal electronics and electric cars.
Researchers from the University of California, Riverside and the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have collaborated in a study to discover that molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) material may hold promise for producing thin-film transistors for applications in extreme temperature environments. The team has reported the method to manufacture molybdenum disulfide thin-film transistors and their performance at high temperatures to demonstrate the potential of the material for extreme-temperature electronics.
Scientists at the University of Groningen have created a breakthrough in producing graphene on an industrial scale without affecting its properties. Graphene has been a "miracle material" when it comes to the manufacture of improved sensors, faster computers and so on. However, producing it on large scale has been a complex task until now.
A research team from the University of California, Riverside has developed a new technique of inducing magnetism in graphene without disrupting graphene’s electronic properties. Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice, and has many amazing properties. The magnetic properties of graphene have remained controversial due to the lack of strong experimental evidence. In general, upon doping graphene with magnetic impurities, magnetism can be induced in graphene. However, the doping may tend to affect the electronic properties of the material.
Physicists from the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and the Technische Universität München have determined the speed at which an electron races through a single layer of atoms of a crystal lattice.
An agreement has been signed between one of the largest semiconductor companies in Europe and Oxford Instruments for the supply of multiple Failure Analysis (FA) systems, to be installed in its manufacturing sites globally over a period of two years.
