A new "smart materials" process developed by researchers in the Centre for Advanced Materials Joining based in the department of mechanical and mechatronics engineering at the University of Waterloo ...

Scientists develop the next generation of highly efficient memory materials with atom-level control. Like the flutter of a butterfly's wings, sometimes small and minute changes can lead to big and ...

Researchers reveal how memory materials switch electricity on and off by melting and freezing tellurium in nano-devices, enabling faster, energy-efficient semiconductor design. (Nanowerk News) As ...

Applied Materials (AMAT) and Micron Technology (MU) have partnered to develop next-generation memory chips specifically for artificial intelligence. This collaboration focuses on DRAM and ...

Shape-memory polymers are particularly intriguing: These materials can switch between two states -- a harder, low-temperature, amorphous state, and a soft, high-temperature, rubbery state. The bent ...

Since his postdoctoral days at MIT, Hang Yu, associate professor of materials science and engineering, has been wrestling with the challenge of creating a shape-memory ceramic that can be manufactured ...

A magnetic tunnel junction engineered to produce four distinct resistance states instead of the standard two could double the data density of spintronic memory without requiring additional physical ...
