Advanced imaging techniques on a semiconductor material reveal ‘surprising’ hidden activity

"This surprising and previously overlooked observation completely changes how we need to view this technology"

10-Apr-2024 - For the first time, a team of researchers has observed a semiconductor material actively flipping behavior from that of an insulator to that of a metal and back in a real device geometry using advanced imaging techniques. This unique imaging of a live fully-functioning electronic device using ...

Strongly interacting electrons in wacky oxide synchronize to work like the brain

19-May-2014 - Current computing is based on binary logic - zeroes and ones - also called Boolean computing, but a new type of computing architecture stores information in the frequencies and phases of periodic signals and could work more like the human brain using a fraction of the energy necessary for today's ...
