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 ...
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 ...
Economic potential of high density data storage implemented by patterned magnetic media technology
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Hard drive industry is facing scaling challenge for areal density to be further increased. This is due to the triangular conflictions among thermal stability (superparamagnetic effect), single-to-noise ratio and writability ...
Evaluation of nanoparticles-based thermotherapy for cancer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Under alternating magnetic field, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles can be used to generate heat for the treatment of cancer. With suitable coating, these nanoparticles are biocompatible, stable in solution, and ...
Shape morphing structures via intercalation compounds
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Recent research has allowed the use of electrode-active materials as actuators by harnessing reversible volumetric change due to intercalation during charging and discharging. These actuators provide a relatively large ...
