Read MoreData that lasts—modification of ferroelectric transistor structure improves memory retention
Ferroelectric field-effect transistors are nonvolatile memory devices that nondestructively read stored data. However, data retention times in these devices are short. Purdue University researchers suggest a modification to conventional Fe-FET structure could overcome this obstacle.

Read MoreAn electrifying matter—two studies announce new electronic states of matter
Classic physics teaches there are four states of matter, but better understanding of matter’s more exotic properties has led to identification of additional states. New studies suggest the possibility of two new electronic states of matter.
Read MoreVideo: A direct approach to creating AC batteries
Battery efficiency is hindered in part by the fact that battery current must be converted from direct to alternating for use in many devices. A University of Cambridge startup company, AC Biode, looks to remove that obstacle by creating batteries that use AC.
