Neuro-synaptic RAM Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) found that a standard silicon transistor can function like a biological neuron and synapse when arranged and operated in a specific way. The team was able to replicate both neural firing and synaptic weight changes by adjusting the resistance of the b... » read more

2D materials in 3D transistors Researchers at the University of California Santa Barbara investigated 3D gate-all-around (GAA) transistors made using 2D semiconductors. They considered three different approaches to channel stacking: nano-sheet FETs, nano-fork FETs, and nano-plate FETs. The nano-plate FET architecture, which exploits lateral stacking of 2D layers, was found to maximize the g... » read more

High-frequency signal conversion Researchers from ETH Zurich developed a plasmonic modulator capable of converting electrical signals into optical signals with a frequency of over a terahertz. The modulator is a tiny nanostructure made up of various materials, including gold, and makes use of the interaction between light and free electrons within the gold. It converts signals directly, red... » read more

Incipient ferroelectricity Researchers from Penn State University and the University of Minnesota propose harnessing incipient ferroelectricity in multifunctional two-dimensional FETs to create neuromorphic computer memory. Materials with incipient ferroelectricity have no stable ferroelectric order at room temperature and need certain conditions to achieve an electrical charge. The FETs were ... » read more

Fiber computer Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Rhode Island School of Design, and Brown University developed a programmable elastic fiber computer that could be woven into clothing to monitor health conditions and physical activity. Clothing created using the fiber computer was reported as comfortable and machine washable. The single elastic fiber computer cont... » read more
