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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The ferroelectrical properties of materials have found a variety of uses over the years, including in semiconductor applications. Ferroelectric memory is among the most interesting and possibly ...

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 ...
