Scientists shine new light on the future of nanoelectronic devices
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform technologies as diverse as solar panels, in-body medical sensors and self-driving vehicles. But these applications are already pushing today’s computers to their limits when it comes to speed, memory size and energy use. Fortunately, scientists in the fields of AI, computing and nanoscience are working to overcome these challenges. […]
Redefining material science: Scientists have induced polarity in metals
In the field of materials science, the concepts of polarization and polarity are typically linked to insulators. Imagine, though, if we could introduce these properties into metals. This could reduce the power losses associated with semiconductors and enhance the longevity of batteries used in electronic devices. Up to now, despite intensive academic research aimed at inducing polarization […]
