Transistors promise more powerful logic, more logical power
Research could affect U.S. manufacturing indirectly, by helping introduce products difficult to build elsewhere, and directly, by reducing production costs.
Self-aware computing project named a 'world changing' idea by Scientific American
Project Angstrom selected by magazine's editors; featured in December issue
Self-powered sensors
Harvesting electricity from small temperature differences could enable a new generation of electronic devices that don’t need batteries
Life after silicon
Researchers in MIT’s Microsystems Technology Laboratories are making the case for using exotic materials to help microchips keep improving.
