Weebit Nano Limited, a leading developer of advanced memory technologies for the global semiconductor industry, and SkyWater Technology, the trusted technology realisation partner, announce availability of Weebit’s resistive RAM (ReRAM) IP in SkyWater’s 130nm CMOS (S130) process.
Scientists are vigorously competing to transform the counterintuitive discoveries about the quantum realm from a century past into technologies of the future. The building block in these technologies is the quantum bit, or qubit.
A property of ferroelectric 2D materials has been disclosed by the materials scientist Boris Yakobson of Rice University and his collaborators. This property could be used as a feature in future devices.
Sondrel (Holdings) plc (AIM: SND), a leading global semiconductor designer and supplier, delivering customised, ultra-complex ASIC chip solutions, has extended its multi-year, multi-million-dollar license agreement with Synopsys for its state-of-the-art EDA tools so that it will run for three more years.
To celebrate National Careers Week (6 to 11 March), EngineeringUK is launching a new careers resource designed to help entice young people into STEM careers.
For more than a century, X-Ray diffraction has been used to comprehend the structure of crystals or proteins; for example, the well-known double helix structure of DNA, which carries genetic information, was found in this way in 1952. Using this method, short-wavelength X-Ray beams are blasted at the object being studied.
Scientists at the Tokyo University of Science in Japan have devised a low-cost technique for creating multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) on a plastic film.
PCR technology is a molecular diagnostics technology that detects target nucleic acids by amplifying the DNA amount. It has brought marked progress in the life sciences field since its development in 1984.
Gene therapy has the potential to treat a broad spectrum of diseases caused by genetic mutations. Despite plenty of diverse research in the field, gene therapy has historically only been used to treat a relatively small number of patients, and even fewer have been successfully cured.
Researchers at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) have created spherical, biocompatible, and stable nanostructures that have a strong affinity for the spike protein and guard against cell infection.
A recent study in the journal PNAS Nexus discovered transformation-mediated twinning (TMT), a novel twinning process present in metastable fcc substances.
