Growing 2D TMDs on chips Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Ericsson Research found a way to “grow” layers of 2D transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials directly on top of a fully fabricated silicon chip, a technique they say could enable denser integrations. The researchers focused on molybdenum disulfide, which is f... » read more

Research Bits: April 10


Meminductor identified Researchers at Texas A&M University identified the meminductor circuit unit. Similar to the memristor and the memcapacitor, a meminductor has a memory-like nature where its properties are dependent on previous values. The resistor, capacitor, and inductor comprise the three classical circuit elements. The memristor and the memcapacitor, while earlier theorized, ha... » read more
