Infrared nanoantenna could in theory achieve 70% efficiency with solar energy conversion. There are several approaches to try to achieve that goal. Diode Approach has had fundamental problems but ...

It’s the second day of the March Meeting and I’ve just done three video interviews, which should start appearing on physicsworld.com in April. I also managed to make it to a few press conferences, ...

Atomtronics has the goal of developing a one-to-one analogy of electronic systems, components and devices with ultracold atoms trapped in optical lattices It is being researched at the University of ...

The “antenna effect” is a common name for the effects of charge accumulation in isolated nodes of an integrated circuit during its processing. This effect is also sometimes called “Plasma Induced ...

The four-layer diode was the key to William Shockley's plan to revolutionize AT&T's phone system. It was a great device in theory, but not in practice -- at least not at the time when Shockley wanted ...

Designing the circuit for this antenna to be telescopic makes it collapsible where it can be extended to its full length or retracted to a small length for storage portability. It may consist of a ...
