Oscillators are necessary for many technologies, most notably, to send information wirelessly. Current technology has broken through to the THz regime (1012 oscillations per second), and there is always a drive to push the limit further. As our grasp over quantum phenomena becomes more realizable in the laboratory, novel devices are…Continue Reading Surface State Oscillators

Microwave Generation from Electronic Device Heating
As we know from experience with our mobile electronics, heavy usage heats things up. As devices consume energy for work, a non-negligible amount of energy is wasted as heat. Not only is this unideal from a conservation standpoint, but it is generally not good for the electronics either. This is especially a problem as device…Continue Reading Microwave Generation from Electronic Device Heating
