A breakthrough in next-generation semiconductor technology has been announced by Chinese researchers, with the creation of the world’s largest N-polar gallium nitride (GaN) wafer, at eight ...

Two scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered a new phase of matter while studying a model system of a magnetic material. The phase is a ...

Back in 1832, the celebrated British physicist, Michael Faraday, carried out a set of experiments designed to answer a tantalizing question: could electricity be generated by Earth's rotation through ...

Magnetic materials are materials studied and used mainly for their magnetic properties. The magnetic response of a materials is largely determined by the magnetic dipole moment associated with the ...

'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean? ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources ...

One of the more spirited seminars at APEC, due to its topic of GaN versus SiC, was an insightful discussion with many compelling arguments. Wide-bandgap semiconductors—specifically gallium nitride and ...

NASA has been monitoring a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies above the planet, stretching out between South America and southwest ...

A multi-vehicle crash near Burtner Road shut down a portion of Route 356 in Jefferson Township around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 26. Route 356 was shut down by the Saxonburg Volunteer Fire Company ...

If you watched this year's iPhone launch event, you could've been forgiven for thinking that the iPhone XS is the most underwhelming 'S' upgrade in the iPhone's history. Apple spent surprisingly ...
