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

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
