Hafnium oxide material could store non-volatile memory
Scientists from MIPT have succeeded in growing ultra-thin (2.5-nanometre) ferroelectric films based on hafnium oxide that could potentially be used to develop non-volatile memory elements called ferroelectric tunnel junctions. The results of the study have been published in the journal ACS Applied Material Interfaces. Scientists all over the world are trying to develop faster and more compact storage devices. The ideal would be a universal memory...
Sensitive biosensor for on-the-spot diagnosis of cancers
A compact optical device that can rapidly and sensitively detect biomarkers in urine has been developed by A*STAR researchers. It has promise for developing simple point-of-care diagnosis of cancer and other diseases. MicroRNAs are a newly discovered class of short (about 19 to 24 nuclides in length) fragments of noncoding RNAs that are useful biomarkers for diagnosing various diseases, including cardiac disease and some cancers.
Thailand's semiconductor sector to tap automotive electronics industry
The electronics and electrical appliances (E&E) industry in Thailand has long been an important sector to the nation, first as a manufacturer of white goods, then computers and parts and now integrated circuits, hard disk drives and printed circuit boards.
Recyclable polyester was produced from biomass-derived compound
Most plastic and polymer materials around are poorly sustainable, as they are petroleum-based, their preparation needs metal catalysis, and they persist in the environment and cannot be effectively recycled. Seeking for true sustainability, American scientists have now prepared a fully recyclable biopolyester from a biofeedstock-based chemical without any metal catalyst involved.
Playing it safe
Steve Rogerson looks at the effects of automotive functional safety standard ISO26262 at component level.The arrival of the ISO26262 functional safety standard for automotive is causing headaches not just for the car manufacturers and their tier one suppliers, but right the way down the supply chain.

Thermal warpage and strain metrology platforms at GOMACTech
Akrometrix will exhibit at the GOMACTech 2016 Conference, scheduled to take place March 14-17, 2016 in Orlando, Fl. Established in 1968, the conference has focused on advances in systems being developed by the Department of Defense and other government agencies and has been used to announce major government microelectronics initiatives such as VHSIC and MIMIC, and provides a forum for government reviews.
Indium’s VP of Technology to present at SMT Hybrid Packaging
Indium Corporation’s Dr. Ning-Cheng Lee, vice president of technology, will present a two-part workshop at SMT Hybrid Packaging 2016, on April 26-28 in Nuremberg.
A different spin on quantum computing
In what may provide a potential path to processing information in a quantum computer, researchers have switched an intrinsic property of electrons from an excited state to a relaxed state on demand using a device that served as a microwave 'tuning fork'. The team’s findings could also lead to enhancements in magnetic resonance techniques, which are widely used to explore the structure of materials and biomolecules and for medical imaging.
CSMC Technologies Corporation adopts Synopsys Proteus OPC platform
Synopsys has announced adoption of its Proteus Optical Proximity Correction (OPC) platform by CSMC Technologies Corporation, based on its comprehensiveness and 'excellent' local support. Synopsys Proteus is the primary OPC solution for CSMC's latest sub-180-nanometer technologies. In addition, CSMC will benefit from the ability to control time-to-market using Proteus' highly-scalable platform.
