Teaching an Electronic Pavlov’s Dog: Memristive Devices in Neuromorphic Circuits
Researchers demonstrate learning in a memristive device.
How to Knit Carbon Fibers
Germany scientists manufactured knitted fabrics made of silicon carbide fiber. These knitted carbon fibers offer a superior flexibility, wide range of pore size, and a higher degree of drapability.
Monster (plastic) trucks
The NPE plastics industry exhibition in Orlando shows that despite high oil prices, plastics are becoming ever more widespread, as lightweight polymeric materials in cars, trucks and planes help to save fuel.
Building Lightweight Trains
The less trains weigh, the more economical they are to run. A new material capable of withstanding even extreme stresses and over 35 percent lighter than their steel and aluminum counterparts has now been developed.
Detecting Poison: New Probe Developed for Cyanide Sensing
A new type of probe for detecting highly toxic cyanide anions has been developed by Professor F. Li and co-workers at Fudan University, China.
Kristi S. Anseth to Receive MRS Mid-Career Researcher Award
Inaugural recipient honored for exceptional achievement at the interface of materials and biology.
The (re-)discovery of a versatile, multifunctional material: Wood research at Empa
Empa’s wood research, including fire safety, acoustics, nanomodification, and more, was presented in detail at a recent symposium.
Polymerization Inhibition for 3D Nanolithography
The depletion mechanism in a stimulated emission depletion (STED) inspired photoresist for 3D nanolithography has been identified.
2D On-Chip Magnetic Actuation
A group from FZ Juelich have investigated methods for controlling magnetic particle clouds on microwire crossbar chips.
