Researchers Develop ‘Snake-Like’ Flexible Metamaterial Absorber
Korean researchers have developed a flexible “snake-shaped” metamaterial absorber with the ability to suppress electromagnetic radiation. Scientists have studied metamaterials since the late 19th century, when artificial dielectrics were developed just after World War II. These artificial materials are specially engineered to affect electromagnetic radiation, sound or seismic … [Read more...]
Scientists Investigate ‘Quantum Glue’ Trigger for Superconductivity
Physicists at the University of Illinois at Chicago have identified the “quantum glue” that binds electrons together to evoke superconductivity in a crucial step towards the creation of high-speed energy transport methods that conduct electricity without current loss. The new research, published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is a collaboration … [Read more...]
New Single-Photon Optical Transistor Could Lead to Faster Data Transmission
Using an ultracold quantum gas, researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Germany have created a new kind of transistor-like optical amplifier that allows for a twentyfold amplification of single-photon signals. Although fiberoptic technology has helped speed along data transmission and telecommunications in general, researchers have hoped to find another … [Read more...]
TVS Arrays Provide Board-Level Circuit Protection in Wireless and Telecom Equipment
ProTek Devices has introduced a new family of multi-line low-capacitance (5pF) transient voltage suppressor (TVS) arrays that provide board-level circuit protection in wireless and telecommunications equipment. The SMP6LLC05-2P - SMP6LLC12-2P series consists of three TVS array components with varying minimum breakdown voltages. The SMP6LLC05-2P has a minimum breakdown voltage … [Read more...]

Lasers Could Replace Quartz in Oscillators
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have a developed a new method that uses a pair of laser beams, instead of a quartz crystal, to tune oscillators. The achievement could provide a better frequency reference to future consumer electronics and high-end navigation and radar systems. Present in nearly all electronic devices, oscillators are electronic circuits … [Read more...]
Optical Cables Made of Air Could Boost Laser Communications
A breakthrough in the development of waveguide technology could extend the reach of light signals to support long-range laser communications and environmental monitoring in the upper atmosphere and beyond, reports new research from scientists at the University of Maryland. Known as an “air waveguide,” the new technology acts much like a fiber-optic cable, guiding light beams … [Read more...]
Tunable Nanoantennas Made More Customizable than Ever Before
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a new kind of tunable nanoantenna that could point towards novel plasmonic-based optomechanical systems that use plasmonic field enhancement to instantiate mechanical motion. The research, led by Kimani Toussaint, Ph.D., associate professor of mechanical science and engineering at the University of … [Read more...]
