Researchers have demonstrated ''giant flexoelectricity'' in soft elastomers that could improve robot movement range and make self-powered pacemakers a real possibility.

Atomically thin van der Waals magnets are seen as the ultimately compact media for future magnetic data storage and fast data processing. Controlling the magnetic state of these materials, however, is difficult. But now, an international team of researchers led by Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) has managed to use light in order to change the anisotropy of a van der Waals antiferromagnet, paving the way to new, extremely efficient means of data storage.

Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology develop a 3D functional interposer -- the interface between a chip and the package substrate -- containing an embedded capacitor. This compact design saves a lot of package area and greatly reduces the wiring length between the chip's terminals and the capacitor, allowing for less noise and power consumption. Their approach paves the way to new semiconductor package structures with greater miniaturization.

To better address these potential threats, the Intelligent Structural Monitoring and Response Testing (iSMaRT) Lab at the University of Pittsburgh Swanso...
