For nearly two decades, two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have been studied as a complement or possible successor to silicon transistors, promising smaller, faster and more energy-efficient ...

Twisting atomically thin magnetic layers does more than reshape their electronics—it can create giant, topological magnetic textures. In chromium triiodide, researchers observed skyrmion-like patterns ...

Conventional crystals are materials in which atoms arrange themselves in repeating spatial patterns. Time crystals, on the other hand, are phases of matter characterized by repeating motions over time ...

New York’s prison system is still in crisis, but funding for independent oversight by CANY was a key step forward. Now, proposed budget cuts threaten to undo these progress, despite CANY’s valuable ...

Gouri Sankar Kar, VP R&D compute and memory device technologies at imec, explains how the research organisation, in collaboration with leading semiconductor manufacturers, has addressed key challenges ...
