The big advantage of black phosphorus over graphene is that it has a natural bandgap that physicists can exploit to make electronic devices
That immediately makes black phosphorous a decent ammonia detector. Hanlon and co say the material could detect ammonia at levels of around 80 parts per billion.
but these are the chips that underpin everything from GTA V to 4k Netflix -and AMD just unveiled the memory technology it wants to power the GPUS of the future.
It changes the layout of memory chips from the ground up-chips are stacked vertically like skyscraper floors in a 3d pattern (not unlike 3d technology used in SSD),
The idea is that instead of making chips from petroleum-based plastic, we'd be able to use cellulose nanofibril-a flexible,
"The majority of material in a chip is support. We only use less than a couple of micrometers for everything else,
"The result is based a bio chip, which is not only flexible enough to use in consumer electronics but an order of magnitude more environmentally-friendly."
"The chips are so safe you can put them in the forest and fungus will degrade it.
They become as safe as fertilizer, "said Ma. He added:""Mass-producing current semiconductor chips is so cheap,

Knowledge of the magnetisation is prerequisite for improving the sensitivity of magnetic field detectors, said Kronast.
the system converts video images captured from a camera housed in the patient glasses into a series of small electrical pulses that are transmitted wirelessly to an array of electrodes on the retina.
Chip manufacturers have struggled to maintain Moore law, which dictates that processing power will double every 18 to 24 months,
primarily through the doubling of the number of transistors they can fit on a chip.
The more transistors that can fit on a chip, the more powerful it can be.
Chips used in computers are made currently at the 14nm scale, but going smaller has proven difficult, with 7nm the latest breakthrough.
While single-molecule transistors are nowhere near being ready to put into a chip this new research will help bring about quantum computing,
Most chips use copper interconnects to route signals around their semiconductor circuits, and these are insulated typically with a coating of tantalum nitride.
"Researchers have made tremendous advances on all of the other components in chips but recently, there hasn't been much progress on improving the performance of the wires,
But after scientists implanted chips into his brain three years ago, he's been able to move a robotic arm to shake hands;

is detected by the twin sensors. The DADSS works with two devices-Breath-based sensors and touch-based sensors.
The former have the ability to measure alcohol molecules in the driver's breath. Whereas, the latter use infrared tissue spectroscopy, wherein the sensor measures the intensity of light absorbed by alcohol, to zero in on the blood alcohol level.
Following the pilot test, the NHTSA stated that, "The agency joined with members of Congress,
the electrodes are suspensions of small particles carried by a liquid and pumped through different compartments of the battery.
"We realized that a better way to make use of this flowable electrode technology was to reinvent the lithium ion manufacturing process".
"In the new method, the electrode material remained in a liquid state. Having the electrode in the form of tiny suspended particles reduces the path length for charged particles as they move through the material, a property known as tortuosity.
Less tortuous path simplifies production and proves cost effective. The new system leads to the production of battery that is more flexible and resilient.
