source：All About CircuitsA joint research team based at the University of Geneva has successfully controlled the properties of artificial electronic structures, dramatically improving energy efficiency.It’s no secret that silicon-based electronics consume a large amount of energy. And as devices get more powerful and smaller, they burn through more power.This is problematic not only because using more energy translates to higher operating costs, but it also leads to higher CO2 emissions. Naturally, it’s something that has scientists and design engineers scrambling for a solution, and one area ...
