Advanced Electronic Materials

Just like explorers need maps, scientists require guides to better understand and advance new technology. A neuromorphic device, which can mimic the neural cells in our brain, has lacked such a guideline and created headaches for scientists trying to understand their operational mechanisms. That is until now after a research group created a map that provides rational design guidelines for neuromorphic devices, paving the way for advancements in brain-inspired computers.

Flexible skin for soft robots, embedded with electrical nanowires, combines conductivity with sensitivity within the same material.

Inscribing porous, carbonized patterns into a polymer creates sensitive electrodes that detect biological molecules.

Scientists at Hokkaido University have developed a device that employs both magnetic and electronic signals, which could provide twice the storage capacity of conventional memory devices, such as USB flash drives.

Discovery of Breakthrough Electrode Formation Method without Accompanying Doping into Si Substrate

This dramatic improvement in thermal agglomeration resistance opens the road to a large reduction in the amount of rare metals used in exhaust gas purification technologies.
