Aug 16, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Profs HU Weida and PENG Hailin, two of researchers at Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics and Peking University, recently proposed momentum-matching and band-alignment van der Waals heterostructures to solve the low QE of 2D materials infrared photodetectors. The results were published in Science Advances ("Momentum-matching...
Single-atom-kernelled nanocluster catalyst for carbon dioxide conversion
Aug 16, 2022 (Nanowerk News) According to a study published in Nano Letters ("Single-Atom-Kernelled Nanocluster Catalyst"), researchers led by Prof. WU Zhikun from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) obtained reduced palladium (Pd)-based alloy nanoclusters (abbreviated as Au4Pd6 and Au3AgPd6) for the...
In-memory mathematical operations with spin-orbit torque devices
Aug 16, 2022 (Nanowerk Spotlight) Analogue arithmetic operations are the most fundamental mathematical operations used in image processing, signal processing and artificial intelligence (AI). Under error-tolerant circumstance, compared to the digital processor, analogue computing presents a promising and possibly revolutionary paradigm in recent years, as it doesn’t need analogue-to-digital conversion...
