Piezoelectric Material Plugs Leaks in Transistors, Saves Energy
Tuesday, December 10, 2013 9:48
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
Tom van Hemert and Ray Hueting of the University of Twente’s MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology have found a way to “plug” leakage current in transistors by “squeezing” the transistor with a piezoelectric material. This cuts the unnecessary energy losses, potentially increasing the battery life of portable electronic devices. Read more »
