AMES, Iowa – Materials engineers don’t like to see line defects in functional materials. The structural flaws along a one-dimensional line of atoms generally degrades performance of electrical ...

Conventional electronics process information leveraging the electrical charge of electrons. Over the past few decades, some ...

AMES, Iowa – Tiny defects in electrical insulating materials may lead to breakdowns, robbing the power grid and even cell phones of reliability and efficiency. Xiaoli Tan, an Iowa State University ...

Scientists from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden have developed an insulation material that is about three times less conductive than the performance of typical high-voltage direct current ...

The era of all-silicon substrates and copper wires may be coming to an end. Progress in the future increasingly depends on more exotic combinations of materials that are developed for specific ...

RIT’s microelectronic engineering BS program combines an EE curriculum with semiconductor courses to master the materials, processes and devices in microchips. A Reputation for Excellence: RIT is a ...
