A Quantum Leap In Computing
With quantum processors hyped as the next big thing in post-silicon
computers, Berkeley researchers have received a National Science
Foundation (NSF) grant to prove that the seemingly far-fetched technology
will actually work.
A Big Radio in a (Very) Small Package
Graduate student Al Molnar's circuit design skills may have landed him a world record, or at least the respect of radio frequency researchers around the globe. The PhD candidate recently devised a transceiver-on-a-chip that's 50 times smaller than a cell phone, consumes 1,000 times less power, yet operates at the same frequency.

A Green Thumb in Semiconductor Manufacturing
David Dornfeld
wants to see green when he visits the next generation of semiconductor
fabrication facilities, or fabs. The Mechanical Engineering professor
is devising a software tool he hopes will convince the semiconductor
industry that minimizing the environmental impact of its processes
is not only good for the earth, it also benefits their bottom line.
