IBM Graphene Transistor hits 155 Ghz at 40nm

Graphene continues to show its potential with a new paper out detailing the production of 40nm graphene transistors (on diamond carbon substrate) that scaled to cut off frequencies up to 155Ghz, researchers out of IBM’s Thomas J. Watson Research Center, New York stated: The CVD [chemical vapour deposition] graphene was grown on copper film and […]

Medical blood applications of memristors

Human blood has been used to model a biomedical memristor circuit by an Indian university group. In the study, the researchers, who are also studying diodes and capacitors modeled on, and built of, liquid human tissue, were able to model nv memristive behaviour for five minutes in both stationary and flowing blood. The research group […]

Programmable Nanocircuits Advance

Things are heating up in the nanoscale programmable logic circuit “circuit”… A paper submitted to Nature last August has been published this month detailing further advances into the “transputer” programmable logic grail, this time fabricated utilizing ge/si based FET nanowires. The researchers were able to reprogram a so constructed logic tile and implement multiplexer, demultiplexer, […]

Ideal Memristance via Formal Modeling of Bernoulli Memristors

A paper submitted on arxiv (via the Department of Chemistry and Department of Bioengineering Imperial College in London) details the results of mathematically modeling an ideal framework class of memristors on Bernoullis differential equations: Such differentials can always be linearized and thus make it easier to obtain analytic/closed form expressions of the form v(t) = […]

This Week, in Memory

As spice modeling for memristive circuits matures and begins to show the possible scope of theoretical applications, and Apple pushes towards SSD adoption, and Sandisk flash memory conquers investor outlooks, and memcapacitance mutators are successfully modeled, and flexible graphene oxides move towards experimental reram fabrication, and spin computing gets its own graphene boost, it may […]

Scientific American on Flash Memory outlook

An great in-depth and comprehensive article from Scientific American today looks at the current and future forecasts of the memory field, across the following competing technologies: DRAM [Dynamic Random Access Memory] SRAM [Static Random Access Memory] RRAM [Resistive random access memory] PRAM [Phase change random access memory] MRAM [Magnetoresistive random access memory] NRAM [Nano random […]
