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 ...

You can stop skulking around labs trying to get bitten by radioactive spiders – a new breakthrough could make it easier than ever to get Spider-Man’s wall-crawling powers. Scientists in Singapore have ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers develop atom-thin material that cuts memory energy use tenfold, opening the door to ultra-efficient AI, mobile tech and data processing. (Nanowerk News) Memory units are essential ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Long gone are the days where all our data could fit on a two-megabyte floppy disk. In today's information-based society, the increasing volume of information being handled demands that we switch to ...
