Inkjet-printed switches make multiple frequency bands easier and cheaper to manage in wireless devices.
Nanoparticles with a shell structure improve the performance of zinc-oxide photodetectors.
The 2018 NANO Conference, which took place at the City University of Hong Kong in late June, was spearheaded by the International Committee on Nanostructured Materials (ICNM) and is a traditional meeting place for nanomaterials researchers.
"It is our responsibility as an institution—and as scientists—to provide the next generation with the ability to fully communicate their research in a coherent and clear manner and to upskill those who will no doubt apply sensing technologies to many more aspects of our lives," said Dr.
Xiangliang Zhang, KAUST associate professor of computer science and principal investigator of the Machine Intelligence & Knowledge Engineering Lab, joined the Computational Bioscience Research Center (CBRC) on July 1, 2018. In CBRC, Xiangliang will work on the problems of modeling biological networks using machine learning models.
Jr-Hau He, KAUST associate professor of electrical engineering, has recently been elected as an SPIE Fellow for his achievements in solar cells, photodetectors and semiconductor optics research. SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, annually recognizes society members who have made significant scientific and technical contributions in the multidisciplinary fields of optics, photonics and imaging, and for their outstanding technical contributions and service to SPIE. He and 72 additional fellows of the society will be promoted later this year.
Women in Data Science (WiDS) is like the Global Women's March for analytics; it's a phenomenon too big for just one city. WiDS is the largest data science conference on Earth—taking place in over 50 countries, it has attained more than 100,000 attendees and is tagged as a global movement.
The annual conference aims to inspire and educate data scientists worldwide—regardless of gender—and support women in the field. This year's WiDS conference was held at Stanford University with more than 100 regional institutions all over the world participating, including KAUST.
An optical communication system could revolutionize underwater exploration and discovery.
A porous material with tailor-made pockets stitched into its structure is a promising material for sensing noxious gases. A thin film of the material, coated onto an electrode, formed an electronic sensor that could detect traces of sulfur dioxide gas.
Precise control of the atomic structure of gallium oxide layers improves the development of high-power electronic devices.
An innovative chemical reactor for depositing semiconductors at very high temperatures draws on the strength of Saudi Arabia’s chemical industry.
KAUST's Professor Xiaohang Li, Lead of the Advanced Semiconductor Research Group and assistant professor of electrical engineering at CEMSE Division, won the biennial 2018 Harold M. Manasevit Young Investigator Award for his significant and innovative contributions in the MOCVD growth of state-of-the-art deep UV lasers, B-III-N alloys, III-oxides, and blue and green emitters.
Standalone power modules that harvest and convert vibrations from their surroundings into electricity could soon fuel future microsystems.
A new ink containing iron oxide nanoparticles can be turned into fully printed and versatile components for cellular networks.
"A simple chemical surface treatment improves the performance of nanowire ultraviolet light-emitting diodes."
"A technique for reducing the loss of light at the surface of semiconductor nanostructures has been demonstrated by scientists at KAUST."
