The collaboration of FLEET researchers from University of Wollongong, Monash University and UNSW have shown in a theoretical study that using topological insulators rather than conventional semiconductors to make transistors could reduce the gate voltage by half, and the energy used by each transistor by a factor of...

Credit: FLEET Just as James Cameron's Terminator-800 was able to discriminate between "clothes, boots, and a motorcycle", machine-learning could identify different areas of interest on 2D materials. The simple, automated optical identification of fundamentally different physical areas on these materials (eg, areas displaying doping, strain, and electronic disorder) could significantly accelerate the science of atomically-thin materials. Atomically-thin (or 2D) layers of matter are a new, emerging class of materials that will serve as the basis for next-generation energy-efficient computing, o...

19 Jan 2021 Share: While we have become used to seeing stripes and spots in nature, it still seems amazing to see similarily distinct 'Turing patterns' form on non-biological surfaces. Now, an international research collaboration has uncovered the magic of metallography - observing the formation of these highly ordered patterns and using super computers to simulate the process of accumulation as they form at the surface of solidified metal alloys.

A new type of ultra-efficient, nano-thin material could advance self-powered electronics, wearable technologies and even deliver pacemakers powered by heart beats. The flexible and printable piezoelectric material, which can convert mechanical pressure into electrical energy, h...

Seeking Answers in Ferroelectric Patterning Why do some ferroelectric materials display bubble-shaped patterning, while others display complex, labyrinthine patterns? Thin-film ferroelectric materials display characteristic, evolving patterns A FLEET study finds the answer to the changing patterns in ferroelectric films lies in non-equilibrium dynamics, with topological defects driving subsequent evolution. Ferroelectric materials can be considered an electrical analogy to ferromagnetic materials, with their permanent electric polarisation resembling the north and south poles of a magnet. Un...
