A research programme for multi-core embedded processor design has received £5.6m in funding from the UK’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
The programme called “Power-efficient, Reliable, Many-core Embedded systems” or PRiME, involves researchers at four UK universities in collaboration with five companies – ARM…
A Sheffield-based company has secured a Technology Strategy Board SMART award of £250,000 to develop low power SRAM technology for advanced process technology including finets.
The firm called sureCore is working with semiconductor foundries developing fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (FDSOI) and finfet technologies.
It will use the…
Europe is strongly positioned to design and manufacture volume silicon photonics devices, according to French research centre CEA-Leti.
This follows the completion of the €8.5m EU-funded HELIOS programme which created a complete design and fabrication supply chain for integrating a photonic layer with a CMOS circuit, using…
Lost the TV remote control again? Never mind – just create another one on the arm of your sofa with a swish of your hand. While you are at it, why not turn the top of your coffee table into a lighting controller, so you can dim your lamps while you kick back and watch a movie.
Fraunhofer officially opens its Centre for Applied Photonics in Glasgow today. The first of its kind in the UK, Fraunhofer centres are renowned for…
Researchers at Nottingham Trent University have created an artificial eye with a cosmetic pupil that can dilate and contract in response to light. “The prototype aims to solve the longstanding problem of…
The US Navy will install a solid-state laser weapon on a ship for the first time. Fitted to USS Ponce, the laser will be part of a number of directed energy programs for ship, airborne and…
Physicists from the University of Southampton have “convincingly demonstrated” the first steps in science that might one day improve LEDs and solar cells. Related to photonic crystals, in which..
