   Abstract : Contemporary environmental problems represent complex societal challenges, and as these problems become increasingly global, the international diffusion of environmental technologies is essential. One way to diffuse technologies internationally is through export. READ MORE

4. 2. Fundamental Characterization of Low Dimensional Carbon Nanomaterials for 3D Electronics Packaging

   Author : Andreas Nylander; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Reliability aspects; Graphene; Thermal management; Carbon nanotubes; Electrical interconnects. Thermal interface material; Heat treatment.;

   Abstract : Transistor miniaturization has over the last half century paved the way for higher value electronics every year along an exponential pace known as 'Moore's law'. Now, as the industry is reaching transistor features that no longer makes economic sense, this way of developing integrated circuits (ICs) is coming to its definitive end. READ MORE

   Abstract : How can we re-empower opera singers, extending their control over accompaniment and vocal expressivity? To answer this question, I have opened a novel design space, Extending Opera, consisting of interactive artist–operated tools to be used on-stage. The research has its methodological groundings in Research through Design (RtD) and Research through the Arts (RttA). READ MORE
