As the enabling technology, the electronics, including circuits, systems, and devices, are the key areas of research interests in green technologies. To be green means lower power and higher energy efficiency in the user＇s side and better management of energy sources in the provider＇s side. In the recent several years, the energy-efficient devices, circuits, and systems have received considerable attention in both academia and industry. It has been a clear trend that it is and will continue to be an area of extensive research interests in the coming years. In connection with the above view, and being invited by the Editor, Ms. Jasmine Xuan Xie, we have proposed this Special Section on Green Technologies：展开更多

A highly integrated many-core chip is prone to be extremely high-power consumption that exceeds the chip＇s power budget set leaded by cooling, packaging and/or the capacity of the power supply. When this situation happens, various parts of the many-core chip will have to be deliberately switched off （darkened） so that the chip is still in compliance with its power budget, which is referred as ＂dark silicon＂. Therefore, the research on energy efficient computing is a current trend and will continue to be an active area in the coming years.展开更多

A smart grid is a power transmission and distribution network that can incorporate millions of sensors all connected through an advanced, two-way communications and data acquisition system to provide real-time monitoring, diagnosis and control. Smart grid enables more efficient, reliable and secure energy service, facilitate grid-integration of renewable systems and energy storage, and better routing of power and demand management. The move to a smarter grid promises to change the industry＇s entire business model and its relationship with all stakeholders, involving and affecting power companies, regulators, energy service providers, technology and automation vendors, and all consumers of electric power.展开更多

The reduction of dependence on fossil fuels is a global goal. To achieve this goal three paths have to be considered： First, the substitution of fossil fuels with renewable energy; secondly, the increase in energy efficiency and the expansion of opportunities for energy storage; and thirdly, to find solutions to the associated socio-economic challenges.展开更多

Because it lies between the radio frequencies and infrared wavelengths, the terahertz electromagnetic region was thought to be promising for practical applications （300 micrometers wavelength corresponds to 1 THz frequency）, but it suffered from very high attenuation through the atmosphere （above 1 dB/meter）, and was found to be difficult to generate, modulate, and detect. On the other hand, many non-polar dielectric materials are transparent to THz waves,展开更多
