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.
