World renowned physicist Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76. He died peacefully at his home in Cambridge in the early hours of Wednesday, his family said. The British scientist was famed for his work with black holes and relativity, and wrote several popular science books including A Brief History of Time. At…
Richard Taylor, the Canadian particle physicist who shared the 1990 Nobel Prize for Physics, has died at the age of 88. Taylor spent most of his professional life at Stanford University and the nearby SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California, where he did pioneering experiments that provided the first experimental evidence that protons and neutrons are made of quarks. Taylor…
Van der Waals (vdW) solids have attracted great attention ever since the discovery of graphene, with the essential feature being the weak chemical bonding across the vdW gap. The nature of these weak interactions is decisive for many extraordinary properties, but it is a strong challenge for current theory to accurately model long-range electron correlations….
Prof. Valentine Novosad Materials Science Division, Argonne National Laboratory Argonne, Illinois 60439, USA Fabrication of large dual-polarized multichroic TES bolometer arrays for CMB measurements with the SPT-3G camera Abstract: I will presents the procedures used at Argonne National Laboratory to fabricate large arrays of multichroic transition-edge sensor (TES) bolometers for cosmic microwave background (CMB) measurements. These…
Prof. Enrique Miranda Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain Compact modeling of hysteresis effects in RRAM devices Abstract: Resistive switching (RS) is called to be the next breakthrough in the field of memory devices. Devices based on this physical mechanism, also called resistive RAMs, can, under an appropriate electrical, physical or chemical stimulus, reversibly change their…
