- 1Chip-based frequency combs bring portable atomic clocks closer▼New chip-based frequency combs demonstrate potential for portable atomic clocks
Researchers have demonstrated new chip-based frequency combs that show potential for use in portable atomic clocks. The advance points toward highly precise timekeeping devices small enough to move beyond laboratory settings, with possible applications in navigation, telecommunications and scientific measurement. Details of the demonstration were reported by Phys.org, though specifics about the team behind the work and performance figures were not provided.
- 2Atom-thin material may solve key transistor bottleneck●Atom-thin material could overcome key transistor bottleneck for next-generation computer chips
Researchers report that an atom-thin material could overcome a key transistor bottleneck in next-generation computer chips, according to a report by Tech Xplore. The finding points to alternatives to conventional silicon as chips keep shrinking, though details of the material, the research team and the specific performance gains were not provided. If confirmed, the approach could influence how future semiconductors are designed and manufactured.
