03/16/2017  Largest fabless IC marketshare increase has come from Chinese suppliers, who now hold a 10% share.

03/16/2017  US-backed initiative taps process modeling specialist to enable manufacturing of high-yield, high-performance integrated photonic designs.

03/16/2017  Synopsys, Inc. today announced that TSMC has certified the complete suite of products in the Synopsys Galaxy Design Platform for the most current version of 12nm FinFET process technology.

03/16/2017  A silicon optical switch newly developed at Sandia National Laboratories is the first to transmit up to 10 gigabits per second of data at temperatures just a few degrees above absolute zero.

03/16/2017  Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced its collaboration with TSMC to develop DesignWare Interface, Analog and Foundation IP for TSMC's 12FFC process.

03/15/2017  A University of Kansas research team has observed the counterintuitive motion of electrons during experiments in KU's Ultrafast Laser Lab.

03/10/2017  The new Sandia metamaterials can be fabricated in multiple layers to form complex, three-dimensional meta-atoms that reflect more light than shiny gold surfaces, usually considered the ultimate in infrared reflectivity. The III-V materials also emit photons when excited -- something that silicon, which can reflect, transmit and absorb -- can't do.
