Neuromorphic computers with one step closer due to neurotransistors

Posted on by Haptic

Especially activities in the field of artificial intelligence, like teaching robots to walk or precise automatic image recognition, demand ever more powerful, yet at the same time more economical computer chips. While the optimization of conventional microelectronics is slowly reaching its physical limits, nature offers us a blueprint how information can be processed and stored Read more about Neuromorphic computers with one step closer due to neurotransistors[…]

A promising ferroelectric material could bring headphones with better sound and lower power consumption

Posted on by Haptic

For a long time, scientists have been investigating so-called ferroelectric materials, which can change their electric polarisation, to enable the development of new data storage options or micro actuators for speakers, for example. However, so far they have been not powerful enough or too unreliable for industrial applications. A promising ferroelectric material, discovered by materials Read more about A promising ferroelectric material could bring headphones with better sound and lower power consumption[…]

Electronic Smart Systems (ESS)

Posted on by Haptic

Specific Challenge: The challenge is to develop and validate a new generation of cost-effective ESS technologies integrating hardware technologies across multiple fields eg, multi-modal sensing, actuating, advanced processing, and secure wireless transmission (to network or local infrastructures). Access to advanced electronics technologies by SMEs and academia is a complementary challenge supporting digitisation of industry. Scope: Read more about Electronic Smart Systems (ESS)[…]

Liquid metal nano set the next revolution in electronics

Posted on by Haptic

A new technique using liquid metals to create integrated circuits that are just atoms thick could lead to the next big advance for electronics. The process opens the way for the production of large wafers around 1.5 nanometres in depth (a sheet of paper, by comparison, is 100,000nm thick). Other techniques have proven unreliable in Read more about Liquid metal nano set the next revolution in electronics[…]

Low energy sensors for the Internet of Things

Posted on by Haptic

Together with his research team, Lars-Erik Wernersson, professor of nanoelectronics at Lund University in Sweden, has developed a technology for smarter transistors which could be used in electronics that operate on low energy, such as sensors for the Internet of Things. Using the new transistors on a large scale could save enormous amounts of energy. Read more about Low energy sensors for the Internet of Things[…]
