By relying on supercooled electronic circuits that switch without electrical resistance and as a consequence generate no excess heat at higher speeds, computer designers will be able to circumvent the greatest technological barrier to faster machines, Ivan Sutherland claims.
Ivan Sutherland played a key role in foundational computer technologies. Now he sees a path for America to claim the mantle in “superconducting” chips.
Reasserting U.S. leadership in semiconductor innovation and manufacturing has become a national priority. In a new report, MIT researchers outline a vision for how universities can best contribute toward this national goal.
Current and future space missions will push the limits of human exploration, taking astronauts further than ever before. New research by the American Chemical Society considers the role carbon nanotubes may play in space missions.
Transistors and circuits embedded with carbon nanotubes have been shown to be more resistant to continuous, high amounts of radiation, a feature that could help spaceship electronics more easily withstand the rigours of space.
