Not exact matches

In a traditional computer, a microprocessor is mounted on a «package,» a small circuit board with a grid of electrical leads on its bottom.

However, almost all of engineers» present expertise in building small objects involves two - dimensional structures, such as microprocessors and computer memory chips — in part because digital electronics generate lots of heat, and it is easier to cool something that is two - dimensional.

The microprocessor and the two small displays are integrated into the temples of the Solar Glasses.

In today's computers, moving data to and from main memory consumes so much time and energy that microprocessors have their own small, high - speed memory banks, known as «caches,» which store frequently used data.

Fiber optic technologies are widely used in communication networks, but the use of light in microprocessors and logical elements faces the problem of diffraction limit, since the size of waveguides and other optical elements can not be significantly smaller than the light wavelength.

With today's device microprocessors, electric current passes through transistors, which are essentially very small electronic switches.

The new resist effectively combines the material properties of two pre-existing kinds of resist, achieving the characteristics needed to make smaller features for microprocessors, which include better light sensitivity and mechanical stability, says Paul Ashby, staff scientist at Berkeley Lab's Molecular Foundry, a DOE Office of Science user facility.

The researchers say future work includes further optimizing the resist's chemical formula for the extremely small components required for tomorrow's microprocessors.

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago describe a new technique for precisely measuring the temperature and behavior of new two - dimensional materials that will allow engineers to design smaller and faster microprocessors.

Traditional ways to measure temperature don't work on tiny flakes of two - dimensional materials that would be used in microprocessors because they are just too small.

Using scanning transmission electron microscopy combined with spectroscopy, researchers at UIC were able to measure the temperature of several two - dimensional materials at the atomic level, paving the way for much smaller and faster microprocessors.
