December 15, 2008 issue Interview: The Google is flat Google provides lessons in the advantages of flat organizational structures and modern programming techniques. December 01, 2008 issue Engineers confront the rising tide of job, economic fears The engineering profession is under pressure to change and adapt as the forces of globalization and manufacturing outsourcing push executives to move resources around the globe and hire engineers in low-cost locations to reduce operational expenses. November 24, 2008 issue China chips: Bomb, or just a lot of firecrackers? Investment fever for the Chinese electronics industry is cooling. Industry experts blame the first wave of Chinese domestic chip companies for failing to deliver results. November 17, 2008 issue AMD: Fighting the unbeatable foe Advanced Micro Devices pursued rival Intel for years as the two jostled for dominance in the MPU market, but it may be time for AMD to accept its No. 2 position in the sector and distinguish its operations by carefully selecting areas in which to compete. November 10, 2008 issue Is the U.S. falling behind in chip R&D? Bell Labs' exit from semiconductor R&D could portend the decline of U.S. superiority in electronics, but major chip makers argue that universities and national labs will take up the slack. November 03, 2008 issue High-voltage hype charges up foundries Despite steady growth in the analog arena, a shakeout is looming in the analog foundry sector amid an IC downturn, a potential price war and fears about intellectual-property theft in China. October 27, 2008 issue Testing WiMAX, testing WiMAX has become the poster child of the mobile Internet world, a world where anything and anybody can be connected from anywhere. October 20, 2008 issue Turning on iTV It's time to plug the television into the Web. October 06, 2008 issue How Samsung out-hustled Japan Inc. How Samsung electronics made the transition from a consumer electronics dwarf to a global brand is a well-told story. Over the past decade, Samsung has ascended to the status of media darling and envy of the industry as it has transformed itself into the world-leading supplier of everything from consumer electronics to PCs to wireless handsets to flat-panel displays to memory and semiconductors. October 06, 2008 issue Samsung investing heavily despite economic climate Samsung Electronics' Woosik Chu likes to say the Korean electronic giant is "a cut above the competition." It's a boast Chu, Samsung executive vice president of investor relations, can easily back up, although unfolding events in the high-tech industry and the troubled worldwide economy will probably test the Korean company sorely over the next year. September 22, 2008 issue High-performance ICs learn to bend and stretch IN ELECTRONICS, rigid and flat is normal. In the real world, not so much. There are many applications in which it would be useful for electronics to conform to curvilinear surfaces or to deform with use, especially in sensing. A detector array could be made to encircle the heart, stretching with each beat. An artificial skin could be stretched around the wing of an aircraft, relaying detailed local information while in flight. An artificial retina could fit in the curved space at the back of the eye like the biological sensor it replaced. Thus far, however, flexible technologies have lacked the performance, manufacturability or, well ... flexibility to make such applications feasible. September 15, 2008 issue Moon ship: The building of the Lunar Module The story of how a Grumman engineer named Sam Avati helped rescue the Lunar Module and land men on the moon. September 08, 2008 issue Can Hollywood bring 3DTV home?

The transistor was invented in 1925 but lay dormant until finding a corporate champion in Bell Labs during the 1950s. Now another groundbreaking electronic circuit may be poised for the same kind of success after languishing as an academic curiosity for more than three decades. July 28, 2008 issue Beyond the iPhone It's time to step back from the "reality distortion field" that Apple chief and iPhone champion Steve Jobs creates, and assess where the new mobile Web platforms are really heading. July 21, 2008 issue Digging a hole in China China's forced deployment of the TD-SCDMA standard is a face-saving effort that will extend the wireless dark ages for its populace, and may, in the end, go down as one of the greatest wastes of engineering capital and resources in the history of wireless. July 21, 2008 issue Design Resources for TD-SCDMA China's forced deployment of the TD-SCDMA standard is a face-saving effort that will extend the wireless dark ages for its populace, and may, in the end, go down as one of the greatest wastes of engineering capital and resources in the history of wireless. July 14, 2008 issue Internet without a keyboard: Bridging the CE-PC gap Forget Atom. Forget Android.
