Sort-in-memory Researchers from Peking University and the Chinese Institute for Brain Research developed a sort-in-memory hardware system based on memristors that is tailored for complex, nonlinear sorting tasks. The comparator-free processing-in-memory architecture is built on a one-transistor–one-resistor (1T1R) memristor array, using a Digit Read mechanism that replaces traditional com... » read more

3D NAND PUF Researchers from Seoul National University developed a new hardware security technology based on commercially available 3D NAND flash memory. The approach is an adaptation of physical unclonable functions (PUFs) with the ability to hide a security key under user data when not in use and reveal it only when needed. The same memory space used for storing security keys can be repurpos... » read more

Copper-to-copper bonding for GaN integration Researchers from MIT, Georgia Tech, and Air Force Research Laboratory propose a bonding process to integrate gallium nitride (GaN) transistors onto standard silicon CMOS chips. They used the process to create a power amplifier. “We wanted to combine the functionality of GaN with the power of digital chips made of silicon, but without having to ... » read more

In-sensor visual processing Researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst created silicon-based in-sensor visual processing arrays that can both capture and process visual data in the analog domain to reduce the latency between sensing and identification. The team created two integrated arrays of gate-tunable silicon photodetectors that share bipolar analog output and low-power o... » read more
