Research breaks major barrier in transistor size by creating gate only 1 nanometer long.
Engineers have been eyeing the finish line in the race to shrink the size of components in integrated circuits. Now, a team of researchers has succeeded in creating a transistor with a working 1-nanometer gate. For comparison, a strand of human hair is about 50,000 nanometers thick.
In 2015, global sales for tin exports amounted to US$690.5 million. That amount represents a 48.4% increase from 2011 but includes a -32.1% decline from 2014 to 2015.
Tin is a key ingredient used to solder microelectronic components to circuit boards, and can prevent corrosion when coating other metals.
In August, energy prices increased 1.8%, and non-energy commodities slipped 0.5%.
Digital technologies are transforming the global manufacturing industry – with the impact clearly evident in the U.S. and Germany. Realizing the full potential of digitalization will rely on manufacturers developing a clear view of the business impact while, at the same time, finding ways to fund ongoing investments in new technology.
Global sales from stainless steel exporting countries for flat-rolled products under 600 millimeters wide amounted to US$4.2 billion in 2015. That metric represents a -23.1% decrease from 2011 and a 14.3% drop from 2014 to 2015.
The 4-digit Harmonized Tariff System code prefix for flat-rolled stainless steel products under 600 millimeters wide is 7220.
