Smart t-shirt with sound waves Researchers at ETH Zurich developed a smart textile that uses acoustic waves passed through glass fibers to measure touch, pressure, and movement. The researchers said that using acoustic waves rather than electronics makes measurements more precise with low power consumption and the textiles lighter, more breathable, and easier to wash. It also uses readily avai... » read more

Speeding NVM encryption Researchers from North Carolina State University propose a way to speed up encryption and file system performance for non-volatile memory (NVM). “NVMs are an emerging technology that allows rapid access to the data, and retains data even when a system crashes or loses power,” said Amro Awad, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at North C... » read more

Memristive synaptic device based on a natural organic material—honey for spiking neural network in biodegradable neuromorphic systems
By Technical Paper Link - 06 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

New academic paper from Washington State University, supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation. Abstract: "Spiking neural network (SNN) in future neuromorphic architectures requires hardware devices to be not only capable of emulating fundamental functionalities of biological synapse such as spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) and spike-rate dependent plasticity (SRDP),... » read more

Water-based li-ion battery Researchers at the University of Maryland and the U.S. Army Research Laboratory developed a lithium-ion battery that uses a water-salt solution as its electrolyte and reaches the 4.0 volt mark desired for household electronics, without the fire and explosive risks associated with some commercially available non-aqueous lithium-ion batteries. The battery provides i... » read more

World’s brightest laser The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has set the unofficial record for the world’s brightest laser. Researchers have focused a laser at a brightness of 1 billion times greater than the surface of the sun. This feat was accomplished using the so-called Diocles Laser at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The laser has a combination of peak power and a repetition ra... » read more

Getting to 1nm Researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, UC Berkeley, University of Texas at Dallas, and Stanford University created a transistor with a working 1nm gate from carbon nanotubes and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). "The semiconductor industry has long assumed that any gate below 5 nanometers wouldn't work, so anything below that was not even considered," said fir... » read more
