Simulations reveal that the formation of some glassy materials is like the setting of a bowl of gelatin. Gelatin sets by forming a solid matrix full of random, liquid-filled pores — much like a saturated sponge. It turns out that a ...
Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have presented the shortest-gate working transistors yet built using III-V channels [J. Lin et al, IEDM, session 32.1]. The metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors ...
