Brand New BiCMOS Flexible Transistor

Brand New BiCMOS Flexible Transistor

The transistor revolutionized the field of electronics, and paved the way for smaller and cheaper radios, calculators, and computers, among other things since its very first practically implemented device as a point-contact-transistor invented in 1947 and getting the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1956. Now, engineers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) have built the most flexible, fully-functional transistor in the world!  The BiCMOS  (Bipolar Complementary Metal Oxide

RESEARCHERS DEVELOP LONG RANGE BACKSCATTER SENSORS THAT CONSUME ALMOST NO POWER

RESEARCHERS DEVELOP LONG RANGE BACKSCATTER SENSORS THAT CONSUME ALMOST NO POWER

Researchers at the University of Washington developed a new backscatter sensors that can operate over long ranges with very little power. The researchers demonstrated for the first time that the device runs on almost zero power and can transmit data across distances of up to 2.8 kilometers. Backscatter communication works by emitting a radio signal and then monitoring the reflections
