Research Bits: Apr. 7


DNA scaffolds for 3D electronics Researchers from Columbia University, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and University of Minnesota used DNA to help create self-assembled 3D electronic devices with nanometer-size features. The team deposited arrays of gold squares on a surface, onto which they could attach short pieces of DNA. These served as anchors to which they could fasten eight-sided di... » read more

Research Bits: Mar. 10


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
