As reported in the journal Nature Communications ("First demonstration of in-memory computing crossbar using multi-level Cell FeFET"), the professor at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) applies a...
Astronomers capture formation of a powerful cosmic jet
Oct 26, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Using a network of radio telescopes on Earth and in space, astronomers have captured the most detailed view ever of a jet of plasma from a supermassive black hole. The jet travels at nearly the speed of light and shows complex, twisted patterns near its...
Using sound to test devices, control qubits
Oct 26, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Acoustic resonators are everywhere. In fact, there is a good chance you’re holding one in your hand right now. Most smart phones today use bulk acoustic resonators as radio frequency filters to filter out noise that could degrade a signal. These filters are also used...
New method enables reliable low-power triboelectric sensors for wearables
Oct 26, 2023 (Nanowerk Spotlight) Triboelectric sensors operate through contact electrification—the electrical charge transfer that occurs when two materials are brought into contact and then separated. This phenomenon allows triboelectric sensors to convert mechanical stimuli like touch or pressure into electrical signals. In this way, they can detect tactile inputs...
