A conjugated polymer plastic gel
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
We present a gel route to process highly oriented conjugated polymer films and fibers. The incorporation of hexafluoroisopropanol, a strong and stable dipolar group, to the polythiophene backbone enhances the solubility ...
Commercialization of bit-patterned media
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Realm of data storage density has expanded from gigabyte- to terabyte-domain. In such a high areal density, bit-patterned media is a promising candidate to overcome the superparamagnetic limit faced by the conventional ...
Evaluation of the colossal electroresistance (CER) effect and its application in the non-volatile Resistive Random Access Memory (RRAM)
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Flash memory, the current leading technology for non-volatile memory (NVM), is projected by many to run obsolete in the face of future miniaturization trend in the semiconductor devices due to some of its technical ...
Technological and economic comparison of battery technologies for U.S.A electric grid stabilization applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
Energy storage can provide many benefits to the electric grid of the United States of America. With recent pushes to stabilize renewable energy and implement a Smart Grid, battery technology can play a pivotal role in the ...
Analysis of terabit/second-class inter-chip parallel optoelectronic transceiver
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
Electrical copper-based interconnect has been suffering from fundamental physical loss mechanism and its current infrastructure will not be able to meet the increasing demand for data rates due to reaching the limit of the ...
Evaluation & design of a novel drug delivery device for treating tumor-related cerebral edema
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
Tumor-related cerebral edema is a debilitating medical condition that afflicts tens of thousands of newly diagnosed brain cancer patients in the U.S. each year, where the standard care of treatment indicates the systemic ...
Superconducting RF front-end filters for cell phone base stations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Cellular bands A and B are in the 100s of :MHz frequency range. They are . discontinuous bands requiring sharp skirts - the specialty of superconducting filters. Superconducting filters are therefore ideal in the function ...
Evaluation of optical solder for fiber-to-waveguide coupling in silicon photonics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Copper interconnects have shown its limit to meet the bandwidth demand even in the short reach applications due to its increase power consumption, RC delay, EMI, crosstalk and other effects which are aggravated as dimension ...
Evaluation of concentration solar cells for terrestrial applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Solar energy has become a hot prospect for the future replacement of fossil fuels, which have limited reserves and cause environmental problems. Solar cell is such a device to directly generate electricity from this clean ...
Technological assessment of light-trapping technology for thin-film Si solar cell
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
The proposed light trapping technology of Distributed Bragg Reflector (DBR) with Diffraction Grating (DG) and Anti-Reflection Coating (ARC) for thin film Si solar cell was analyzed from the technology, market, and ...
