Research Bits: Apr. 28


Parchment papertronics Researchers from Binghamton University used commercial parchment paper, commonly used in baking, along with a standard carbon dioxide laser and water-based conductive ink to create disposable, single-use electronic circuits. The laser selectively removes the paper's thin silicone coating in specific patterns, exposing the water-absorbing cellulose fibers underneath. T... » read more

A Framework To Detect Capacitance-Based Analog Hardware Trojans And Mitigate The Effects


A technical paper titled “DeMiST: Detection and Mitigation of Stealthy Analog Hardware Trojans” was published by researchers at Tennessee Tech University and Technische Universitat Wien. Abstract: "The global semiconductor supply chain involves design and fabrication at various locations, which leads to multiple security vulnerabilities, e.g., Hardware Trojan (HT) insertion. Although most... » read more

New quantum electronic material has atomic structure resembling a Japanese basketweaving pattern According to MIT, Harvard University, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory researchers, a motif of Japanese basketweaving known as the kagome pattern has preoccupied physicists for decades. They reminded that kagome baskets are typically made from strips of bamboo woven into a highly symmetric... » read more
