Solar and wind power reinvented: latest news
Virtually all of the grid capacity being added in the world is renewable or nuclear nowadays. Solar and wind met 10% of electricity demand in March 2017 in the USA. Hydro electricity from a wet spring season on the West Coast, which alone provided more than 10% of the nation’s electricity, as well as biomass and geothermal power, all renewable energy sources combined met 24% of electric demand in March and if we add in the 20% we get from n...

Strong memory market drives 2017 semiconductor boom
According to World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), the semiconductor market was down 0.4% in first quarter 2017 from 4Q 2016 and up 18.1% from a year ago. The 0.4% decline in 1Q 2017 versus 4Q 2016 is strong compared to an average four percent decline from 4Q to 1Q over the previous five years. The relative strength in 1Q 2017 was driven by a strong memory market. The three largest memory companies - Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron Technology...
Gloves powered by soft robotics interact with VR environments
Engineers at UC San Diego are using soft robotics technology to make light, flexible gloves that allow users to feel tactile feedback when they interact with VR environments. The researchers used the gloves to realistically simulate the tactile feeling of playing a virtual piano keyboard.Engineers recently presented their research, which is still at the prototype stage, at the Electronic Imaging, Engineering Reality for VR conference in Burlingam...
Sub-10nm germanium GAA devices displayed at VLSI Symposia
New process improvements for next-gen devices were unveiled by imec at 2017Symposia on VLSI Technology and Circuits. For the first time, scaled strained germanium p-channel Gate-All-Around (GAA) FETs were shown with sub-10nm diameter, integrated on a 300mm platform. In addition, the research centre has obtained a significant improvement in device performance and electrostatic control with high-pressure anneal (HPA) for both strained germanium p-c...
