A new memory resistive device developed with magnetic nanopillars surrounded by resistive silicon switches

Magnetic nanopillars surrounded by resistive silicon filaments have been used to develop a novel memristive memory. Emerging non-volatile memories (NVMs) combined with novel computing architectures have recently been considered as the most promising solution to overcome the “memory …

Topological acoustics at the nanoscale

Nanometric semiconductor structures have been used to confine ultrahigh frequency sound by exploiting their topological properties. The 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to the field of topological matter. A key result was the demonstration that topology can be …

Silicon light-emitting diodes : spin-dependent efficient emission

Physicists from the Centre de Nanosciences et de Nanotechnologies, the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides, and the University of Cambridge have demonstrated efficient silicon light-emitting diodes using an original manufacturing method. The device is very simple and provides a luminescence …
