Practical Method to Create Nano-Electronic Devices One Atomic Layer at a Time

The field of quantum mechanics deals with materials at atomic dimensions, and big discoveries often happen at a very small scale. Researchers in the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science, in collaboration with an international team of engineers and scientists, have uncovered a phenomenon that could have major implications for the development of nano-electronic circuits and devices.

University of Twente Laser Machining Project Awarded EU Grant

The University of Twente is receiving an EU grant for a Marie Sklodowska-Curie project titled 'Laser4Fun' involving the machining of surfaces with lasers. Laser machining is making a huge advance and there is enormous interest from industry. The UT researchers are becoming increasingly successful in adding a particular function to an existing surface with lasers. This results, for example, in bacteria-free medical equipment in hospitals, or water and oil repellent products in the packaging industry.

Researchers Decode New Processes in Modern ReRAM Memory Cells

Resistive memory cells or ReRAMs for short are deemed to be the new super information-storage solution of the future. At present, two basic concepts are being pursued, which, up to now, were associated with different types of active ions. But this is not quite correct, as Jülich researchers working together with their Korean, Japanese and American colleagues were surprised to discover.

New Type of Nanowire Material Supports Neuron Growth

Neurons thrive and grow in a new type of nanowire material developed by researchers in Nanophysics and Ophthalmology at Lund University in Sweden. In time, the results might improve both neural and retinal implants, and reduce the risk of them losing their effectiveness over time, which is currently a problem.

Novel Technique to Create Dynamic Patterns on Graphene Surfaces

In the television drama “Mission Impossible,” instructions for the mission were delivered on an audio tape that destroyed itself immediately after being played. Should that series ever be revived, its producers might want to talk with Georgia Institute of Technology professor Andrei Fedorov about using his “disappearing circuits” to deliver the instructions.
