3D bioprinter uses carbon nanotube enhanced cellulose

A group of researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have managed to print and dry three-dimensional objects made entirely by cellulose for the first time with the help of a 3D-bioprinter. They also added carbon nanotubes to create electrically conductive material. The effect is that cellulose and other raw material based on wood will be able...

Emergence of 'Devil's staircase'

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have revealed a novel magnetic structure named the “Devil’s staircase” in cobalt oxides using soft X-rays ("Observation of a Devil’s Staircase in the Novel Spin-Valve System SrCo6O11"). This is an important result since the researchers succeeded in determining the detailed magnetic structure of a very small single...

Successors to FinFET for 7nm and beyond to be presented

At this week’s VLSI 2015 Symposium in Kyoto (Japan), imec reported new results on nanowire FETs and quantum-well FinFETs towards post-FinFET multi-gate device solutions. As the major portion of the industry adopts FinFETs as the workhorse transistor for 16nm and 14nm, researchers worldwide are looking...
