TL;DR: In this paper, photovoltaic cells were only used for specialised electricity generation such as power for spacecraft, and the prospect of advanced cells and mass-production techniques, large-scale production of electricity seems to be an economically viable prospect within the next decade.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that design is one of the most demanding and yet the most rewarding and aesthetic areas of engineering, and that for the profession to attract more high flyers, this subject must receive a greater emphasis in higher education.
Abstract: Design is one of the most demanding and yet the most rewarding and aesthetic areas of engineering. For the profession to attract more ‘high flyers’, this subject must receive a greater emphasis in higher education
TL;DR: Speech-band data modems allow the analogue telephony network to be used for digital data communication in terms of higher data rates and efficient bidirectional transmission.
Abstract: Speech-band data modems allow the analogue telephony network to be used for digital data communication. New techniques and technology are permitting further exploitation of the network in terms of higher data rates and efficient bidirectional transmission
TL;DR: The scanning optical microscope uses a laser spot to examine a specimen as discussed by the authors, which improves on the resolution and contrast of the conventional microscope and has particular advantages for the study of semiconductor materials and devices and living biological specimens.

TL;DR: In separate interviews, Barrie Sherman and Ian Mackintosh present divergent views on future office-staff requirements, but agree that manufacturing jobs will be lost as mentioned in this paper, and both men urge rapid industrial deployment of microelectronics.

TL;DR: In this article, the emergence of software engineering is discussed, and what is the relationship between software production and the established brances of the engineering profession, and why it is so important.
Abstract: Why is the emergence of software engineering so important, and what is the relationship between software production and the established brances of the engineering profession?
TL;DR: Falling chip costs do not only mean more of the same when it comes to storing information in computers but also bring computer memories a step closer to those of humans.
Abstract: Falling chip costs do not only mean more of the same when it comes to storing information in computers. Here it is argued that the silicon chip can bring computer memories a step closer to those of humans
