New materials could boost the energy efficiency of microelectronics
By stacking multiple active components based on new materials on the back end of a computer chip, this new approach reduces the amount of energy wasted during computation.
At a fireside chat, L. Rafael Reif and Anantha P. Chandrakasan discussed the importance of developing engineering leadership skills to solve the world’s most challenging problems.
