Semiconductors have had a monumental impact on our society. You find semiconductors at the heart ofmicroprocessor chipsas well as transistors. Anything that's computerized or usesradio wavesdepends on semiconductors. Today, most semiconductor chips and transistors are created withsilicon. You may have ...
If you look back at the history of computer technology, you find that all computers are designed around Boolean gates. The technologies used to implement those gates, however, have changed dramatically over the years. The very first electronic gates were created using relays. These gates were slo...
All modern smartphones have NFC modules that connect wirelessly and without an external power source. NFC chips are passive devices that are powered by a device that reads them at the moment (this happens through magnetic induction). Secure, standardized, and regulated technology NFC data exchange...
especially those involved in high-end manufacturing. The 69 projects commencing construction on that day had a total investment of 56.44 billion yuan, mostly related to advanced manufacturing such as new materials, 5G integrated semiconductors and new-generation optical communications. ...
created a predictive roadmap that spans nearly five decades from 1971 through 2020. This set of documents is titled "The International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors." This roadmap was established by five geographic regions that represent nearly all chip manufacturers. Consequently, all ...
Here are some of the most popular recent examples of generative AI interfaces. ChatGPT Created by OpenAI,ChatGPTis an example of text-to-text generative AI—essentially, an AI-powered chatbot trained to interact with users via natural language dialogue. Users can ask ChatGPT questions, engage ...
Modern chips can have up to 100 layers, which all need to align on top of each other with nanometer precision (called 'overlay'). The size of the features printed on the chip varies depending on the layer, which means that different types of lithography systems are used for different layer...
And how is Xizang accommodating its ancient way of life to modern development? Guests in this edition of Dialogue are Asghar Muhammad, director of Associated Press of Pakistan in Beijing; and Roland Boer, a distinguished overseas professor at Renmin University of China....
A semiconductor is a material that controls electrical currents, making it an essential component of most modern electronics. They are the computing chips and microcontrollers that power smartphones, computers and televisions. The unique properties of semiconductors position them in between high-conducting...
These semiconductors have a variable resistance that is dependent on voltage. When voltage is below a certain level, the electrons in the semiconductors flow in such a way as to create a very high resistance. When the voltage exceeds that level, the electrons behave differently, creating a much...
