The
first purely silicon oxide-based “resistive RAM” memory chip that can
operate in ambient conditions has been developed by researchers in the
U.K., and it needs just a thousandth of the energy of Flash-based chips.
Unlike other attempts to develop similar silicon-oxide chips, this
invention does not require a vacuum to operate.

With
the advent of the solid-state transistor and semi-conductor-based flat
panel display technology, the vacuum tube has virtually disappeared from
consumer electronics. But a team of researchers in Korea and at NASA’s
Ames Research Center have combined the best traits of both technologies
to create a vacuum channel transistor just 150 nm long.

Not
long after a partially paralyzed man in Switzerland used his mind to
remotely control a small robot, a Massachusetts woman paralyzed for 15
years used only her thoughts to direct a robotic arm to pick up a bottle
of coffee and bring it to her lips But will the experimental
brain-controlled technology ever help paralyzed people in everyday life?

A
year after a researcher at Linköping University in Sweden built a fully
functional field-effect transistor from plastic, another scientist at
the same institution has shown that it is possible to control these
transistors with great precision, allowing the device to function as a
logic circuit.

Camera
maker Canon Inc. is moving toward fully automating digital camera
production in an effort to cut costs—a key change being played out
across Japan, a world leader in robotics. According to the company
spokesman, counting on machines can help preserve the country's
technological power.

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory theorists and experimenters have led in the exploration of the unique properties of topological insulators, where electrons may flow on the surface without resistance and with their spin orientations and directions intimately related. Recent research at beamline 12.0.1 of the Advanced Light Source opens the way to exciting prospects for practical new spintronic devices that exploit control of electron spin as well as charge.

There's
nothing worse than a shonky pool table with an unseen groove or bump
that sends your shot off course. A new study has found that the same
goes at the nano-scale, where the "billiard balls" are tiny electrons
moving across a "table" made of the semiconductor gallium arsenide.

A team of Duke
University engineers has
created a master "ingredient list" describing the properties of more
than 2,000 compounds that might be combined to create the next
generation of
quantum electronics devices.
