New processes in modern ReRAM memory cells decoded

Resistive memory cells or ReRAMs for short are deemed to be the new super information-storage solution of the future. At present, two basic concepts are being pursued, which, up to now, were associated with different types of active ions. But this is not quite correct, as Jülich researchers working together with their Korean, Japanese and American...

Hopes of improved brain implants with nanowire structures

Neurons thrive and grow in a new type of nanowire material developed by researchers in Nanophysics and Ophthalmology at Lund University in Sweden ("Support of Neuronal Growth Over Glial Growth and Guidance of Optic Nerve Axons by Vertical Nanowire Arrays"). In time, the results might improve both neural...

Electric field control of magnetic moment in palladium

Researchers at the University of Tokyo and Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry have successfully induced a magnetic moment in palladium (Pd), usually a non-magnetic material, and demonstrated the ability to reversibly control the strength of the magnet by applying an electric field ("Electric-field control of magnetic moment in Pd")....
