Vanadium oxide has a memory of its last external stimuli for three hours or more, a discovery that can impact future electronics development.

One of the difficulties faced by researchers involved in innovative electronic devices is to compare devices according to various materials in a reliable manner.

Many state-of-the-art technologies work at incredibly low temperatures.

Researchers create a device to streamline interactions between ultra-cold and room-temperature computers

Flexible organic circuits that mimic biological neurons could increase processing speed and might someday hook right into your head

Vanadium oxide seems capable of “remembering” its history of previous external stimuli. No other material is like it.

Researchers at EPFL have discovered a material that seems to be able to “remember” all of its past encounters with stimuli, such as electrical currents. The compound could come in handy for better data storage and processing.

EPFL researchers have discovered a compound used in electronics, vanadium dioxide, has a form of memory to remember its previous states for up to 3 hours.

It isn't alive, and has no structures even approaching the complexity of the brain, but a compound called vanadium dioxide is capable of 'remembering' previous external stimuli, researchers have found.

Nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) research and development shrinks electric components and mechanical parts to the scale of nanometers (nm).
