Shunting ions around with electricity could produce enough heat transfer to replace greenhouse gas compression in domestic refrigerators, according to the US Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBL). The technology has been dubbed ‘ionocaloric cooling’. While warming and cooling a solid, liquid or gas can be used to shift some heat, much more can be shifted ...

Molecular thermal energy harvesters or temperature sensors could be built from a particular organo-metallic material, according to scientists at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. “The team was curious as to whether multi-nuclear ruthenium alkynyl complexes based on multiple Ru(1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane)2 fragments could lead to more powerful molecular junctions, thanks to their unique electronic structure,” according to ...

TheKorea Economic Daily reports that ‘a source with knowledge of the matter’ has told it that Samsung has reached a ‘perfect level’ of production yield on its 3nm GAA process. 100% sounds a trifle unlikely,  but ‘perfect level’ might indicate that its yields are nearer to the 80% yield rate claimed by TSMC for its ...

November semiconductor sales fell 2.9% sequentially and 9.2% y-o-y to $45.5 billion, reports the SIA.. “Global semiconductor sales decreased in November, largely due to market cyclicality and macroeconomic headwinds,” says SIA CEOJohn Neuffer, “sales  into the Americas were up compared to November 2021, while sales into China decreased sharply on a year-to-year basis.” Regionally, year-to-year ...
