The progress achieved in micro-fabricating potential for cold atoms has defined a new field in quantum technology - Atomtronics - where a variety of 'atom circuits' of very different spatial shapes and depth have been devised for atom…
Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems are becoming increasingly complex, heterogeneous and pervasive, integrating a variety of physical devices and virtual services that are spread across architecture layers (cloud, fog, edge) using different…
Any large-scale spiking neuromorphic system striving for complexity at the level of the human brain and beyond will need to be co-optimized for communication and computation. Such reasoning leads to the proposal for optoelectronic…
In the 21st century, biosensors have gathered much wider attention than ever before, irrespective of the technology that promises to bring them forward. With the recent COVID-19 outbreak, the concern and efforts to restore global health and…
Carbon nanomembranes (CNMs) are nanometer-thin disordered carbon materials that are suitable for a range of applications, from energy generation and storage, through to water filtration. The structure-property relationships of these…
Transmission electron beams (TEBs) have long been used to study and manipulate materials at nanometer scales. In the late 1970's, Cherns demonstrated surface pitting in Au films upon exposure to a 1MeV TEB and observed crystal dislocations…
Precision measurements of neutron properties, like its permanent electric dipole moment, rely on understanding complex experimental setups in detail. We show how the properties of stored and transported ultracold neutron ensembles can be…
Despite decades of research, the ultimate goal of nanotechnology--top-down manipulation of individual atoms--has been directly achieved with only one technique: scanning probe microscopy. In this Review, we demonstrate that scanning…
We present ideas aimed at bringing revolutionary changes on architectures and buildings of tomorrow by radically advancing the technology for the building material concrete and hence building components. We propose that by using…
Emerging two terminal nanoscale memory devices, known as memristors, have over the past decade demonstrated great potential for implementing energy efficient neuro-inspired computing architectures. As a result, a wide-range of technologies…
Electron beam-induced current (EBIC) imaging in the scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM), STEM-EBIC, provides direct access to carrier transport at the nanoscale. While well established in bulk SEM geometries, its application to…
New emerging disciplines such as Nanoionics and Iontronics are dealing with the exploitation of mesoscopic size effects in materials, which become visible (if not predominant) when downsizing the system to the nanoscale. Driven by the…
This paper introduces a novel approach in neuromorphic computing, integrating heterogeneous hardware nodes into a unified, massively parallel architecture. Our system transcends traditional single-node constraints, harnessing the neural…
The rise of power-efficient embedded computers based on highly-parallel accelerators opens a number of opportunities and challenges for researchers and engineers, and paved the way to the era of edge computing. At the same time, advances in…
Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology has radically reshaped the world by taking humanity to the digital age. Cramming more transistors into the same physical space has enabled an exponential increase in computational…
Strong coupling between electronic and mechanical degrees of freedom is a basic requirement for the operation of any nanoelectromechanical device. In this Review we consider such devices and in particular investigate the properties of small…
