Beyond Bitcoin: China’s Surveillance Cash

by Rahul Rao in Engineering, Engineering News

Illustration: Greg Mably Of all the technological revolutions we’ll live through in this next decade, none will be more fundamental or pervasive than the transition to digital cash. Money touches nearly everything we do, and although all those swipes and taps and PIN-entry moments may make it seem as though cash is already digital, all […]

White paper on flame retardant epoxies and silicones

by Rahul Rao in Engineering, Engineering News

Epoxies and silicones used in aircraft applications must maintain their primary role as adhesives or coatings while exhibiting resistance to heat and flame in accordance with government and industry specifications. Master Bond’s flame-retardant systems comply with specifications for flame resistance and reduction of smoke density and toxic emissions.

Plasmonics: A New Way to Link Processors With Light

by Rahul Rao in Engineering, Engineering News

Fiber optic links are already the main method of slinging data between clusters of computers in data centers, and engineers want to bring their blazing bandwidth to the processor. That step comes at a cost that researchers at the University of Toronto and Arm think they can greatly reduce. Silicon photonics components are huge in […]

Bright Silicon LED Brings Light And Chips Closer

by Rahul Rao in Engineering, Engineering News

For decades, researchers have tried to fashion an effective silicon LED, one that could be fabricated together with its chip. At the device level, this quest matters for all the applications we don’t have on our mobile devices that would rely on cheap and easily fabricated sources of infrared light. Silicon LEDs specialize in infrared light, making […]

3D-printing hollow structures with “xolography”

by Rahul Rao in Engineering, Engineering News

By shining light beams in liquid resin, a new 3-D printing technique dubbed “xolography” can generate complex hollow structures, including simple machines with moving parts, a new study finds. “I like to imagine that it’s like the replicator from Star Trek,” says study co-author Martin Regehly, an experimental physicist at the Brandenburg University of Applied […]
