IEEE Spectrum Recent Content
Smart cities represent one of the highest-volume – and highest-value – segments of the Internet of Things (IoT) but are among the most difficult to prototype.
Is Qualcomm’s NanoRing the Transistor of the (Near) Future?
IEEE Spectrum Recent Content
Today’s advanced chips use transistors whose most prominent feature is a vertical fin of silicon through which current flows when the device is switched on. But that design’s days may be numbered. IBM, for one, plans on moving to a design called “nanosheets” for the technology node due out in a few years. Qualcomm has other ideas.
New Technique Could Put Millions of Qubits on a Chip
IEEE Spectrum Recent Content
Scientists have developed what they say is the first complete design for a silicon quantum microchip. It portends the possibility of quantum computers being produced entirely using conventional silicon technology.
C2I 2017: Nuclear industry innovation inspires life-saving heart implant
The Engineer
The Spiral-Inducing Bypass Graft was produced by an unusual multi-disciplinary, cross-border venture. The laws that govern blood flow apply also to the dynamics of coolant in nuclear reactors, which prompted the development of this unique biomedical device
Smartphone case delivers blood glucose readings in one device
The Engineer
Engineers have developed a smartphone case and app that could make it easier for diabetics to record and track their blood glucose readings.
