Electronic bridge allows rapid energy sharing between semiconductors
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), Berkeley, Calif., discover that electrons play a surprising role in heat transfer between layers of semiconductors, with implications for next-generation electronic devices. As semiconductor devices become ever smaller, researchers are exploring two-dimensional (2D) materials for potential applications in transistors and optoelectronics. Controlling the […]
Stacking LEDs instead of placing them side by side could enable fully immersive virtual reality displays
MIT engineers, Boston, Mass., have developed a new way to make sharper, defect-free displays, stacking the diodes to create vertical, multicolored pixels. Each stacked pixel can generate the full commercial range of colors and measures about 4 microns wide. The microscopic pixels, or micro-LEDs, can be packed to a density of 5,000 pixels per inch. […]
Bodycote receives science based target initiative approval for emissions targets
Bodycote, Macclesfield, UK, has announced that its near-term science-based emissions target has been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). SBTi is an independent global body enabling businesses to set and validate emissions reduction targets in line with the latest climate science and strict criteria.
Lindberg/MPH ships steam atmosphere pit furnace to a tooling manufacturer
Lindberg/MPH, has announced the shipment of an electrically heated, steam atmosphere pit furnace for steam treating parts. Manufacturers use the steam treating process to create a uniform blue-black finish on the surface of parts which improves wear and corrosion resistance.
