Mizzou Engineers develop new method to design semiconductors

A new way to make semiconductors:Topology (A) and phase (B) imagery of the functionalized zone after zinc oxide atomic layer deposition. Mizzou Engineers have come up with a novel new technique to design semiconductors, the chips that make your phones, laptops and other devices not only smart, but also compact. Matthias Young and Matt Maschmann outlined a proof of concept for their technique in a recent issue of Nano Select and worked with the Technology Advancement Office to file an application to patent the work. Now, they’re hoping to scale up and optimize the process…

New Cloaking Material Could Protect Buildings, Soldiers

Stealth technology, the idea of reducing the ability of the enemy to detect an object, has driven advances in military research for decades. Today, aircraft, naval ships and submarines, missiles and satellites are often covered with radar-absorbent material, such as paint, to hide or cloak them from radar, sonar, infrared and other detection methods. A cloak is a coating material that makes an object indistinguishable from its surroundings or undetectable by external field measurements.
