Today, the mutual optimization of design and technology provide key advantage in the highly competitive semiconductor market. Traditionally, when developing integrated circuits (IC), their design and technology were considered and developed separately. Looking to the future, this is no longer appropriate. Experienced IC designers need a deeper understanding of the interactions between design and technology options to ensure maximum product optimization. For the 18th time, the “International Conference on IC Design and Technology (ICICDT)” provides a forum for engineers, researchers,…
At the second “AI for Laser Technology Conference” on September 28 and 29, 2021, participants will discuss how artificial intelligence is currently being applied in laser materials processing. Researchers and plant engineers, software developers and machine builders will meet here to exchange ideas. In addition to the technical presentations, the laboratories at the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT will be opened for virtual tours. Due to current regulations, the conference will take place online. At the first “AI for…
MD&M West in Anaheim, California invites the U.S. trade audience to discover innovations and technologies in medical development and manufacturing from August 10-12, 2021. Visitor groups from development departments as well as the management level of the manufacturing industry are addressed. In recent years, the show had firmly established itself as an international medical technology marketplace for medical technology suppliers, including many component manufacturers from Europe and Asia. This year, high-tech companies with local representatives and partners are using the…
Reef Protection of Global Significance… The 14th International Coral Reef Symposium (ICRS) – the first virtual and climate-neutral world coral reef conference – ends on July 23, 2021. Around 1,300 participants from 80 countries were involved. A strategy paper demanding the saving of damaged coral reefs worldwide has been completed. “The first virtual conference in the 50-year history of world coral reef conferences has been a complete success,” says Professor Christian Wild happily. The head of the Marine Ecology group…
For the second time, ICULTA – the ‘International Conference on UV LED Technologies & Applications’ – presented a forum for the UV LED community. Over 320 participants from 33 countries exchanged ideas and results on cutting-edge UV LED topics. The program of last week’s virtual event covered the most recent and novel developments in UV LED manufacturing, including applications in health care, environment and life sciences, curing, and metrology. A running theme in many of the sessions was the role…
Spiders are master builders, expertly weaving strands of silk into intricate 3D webs that serve as the spider’s home and hunting ground. If humans could enter the spider’s world, they could learn about web construction, arachnid behavior and more. Today, scientists report that they have translated the structure of a web into music, which could have applications ranging from better 3D printers to cross-species communication and otherworldly musical compositions. The researchers will present their results today at the spring meeting…
The QuApps conference deals with the state of the art and the development of quantum technology.
