Research Bits: Jan. 20


Self-correcting memristor array Researchers at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Seoul National University, Sungkyunkwan University, Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), and Yonsei University developed a memristor-based neuromorphic chip that can learn and correct errors, enabling it to adapt to immediate environmental changes. The system c... » read more

Measuring lithography plasma sources Researchers from the University of Twente developed a tool that can measure the size of a plasma source and the color of the light it emits simultaneously, which they say could be used to improve lithography machines. “Traditionally, we could only look at the amount of light produced, but to further improve the chipmaking process, we also want to study... » read more

Power/Performance Bits: Feb. 8


Transparent sensor Researchers at Osaka University created a thin, flexible, transparent sensor using silver nanowire networks. High-resolution printing was used to fabricate the centimeter-scale cross-aligned silver nanowire arrays, with reproducible feature sizes from 20 to 250 micrometers. As a proof-of-concept for functionality, they used their arrays to detect electrophysiological signals... » read more
