Research Bits: May 7


High-temperature memory Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and Air Force Research Laboratory demonstrated memory technology capable of enduring temperatures as high as 600° Celsius for more than 60 hours while retaining stability and reliability. The non-volatile memory device consists of a metal–insulator–metal structure, incorporating nickel and platinum electrodes with a 4... » read more

Research Bits: Mar. 5


Anti-ambipolar transistor Materials scientists from the City University of Hong Kong propose using transistors made of mixed-dimensional nanowires and nanoflakes to create multivalued logic devices. By combining GaAsSb nanowires and MoS2 nanoflakes, the team created a hetero-transistor with anti-ambipolar transfer characteristics, in which positive (holes) and negative (electron) charge car... » read more
