Proceedings from the Advanced Functional Polymers for Medicine conference, held in the Netherlands in June 2011, have now been published.
Results for "memory"
At the Edge of Chaos: A New Type of Computing
A computing network that exhibits emergent behavior similar to that in biological brains is hypothesized by Adam Z. Stieg of the California NanoSystems Institute
Waterproof your Walkman – Superhydrophobic ZnO Device Components
The development of nanostructured ZnO components for devices could lead to inherently waterproof electronic devices.
Teaching a New Dog, Old Tricks: Inorganic Devices Mimicking Biological Synapses
Biological synaptic behaviour related to short- and long-term memory creation is mimicked by inorganic devices.
Nanostructured, Functional and for Commercial Use
The sample size of nanomaterials with functional properties has been limited to just a few millimeters. This fact has limited their commercial use, so far.
Flick of Switch Controls Medicine: Nanoparticle Drug Delivery
A recent review gives an up-to-the-minute round-up of how mesoporous silica nanoparticles are used to deliver drugs into cells.
Atomic Switches with Larger Gaps and Light-Dependence
Light is needed to initiate a new type of atomic switch that has gaps larger than the previously required 1 nm. A series of such wavelength-dependent devices could one day be used for image recognition.
How Big an Impact?
As Impact Factor fever sweeps the academic world, we take a closer look at Impact Factors in general, and the performance of Advanced Materials in Impact Factor 2009. No vuvuzelas or video technology allowed…
Switch On: Solid-State Atomics Switches That Learn
The human brain is one of the most complicated machines that Nature has ever invented. Can we ever hope to artificially replicate its incredible complexity?
