Ideal size for computer memory
A high-precision simulation of a computer storage solution called CBRAM reveals its ideal geometry: two electrodes, separated by a semiconductor of few atoms thickness. The team of Mathieu Luisier, Associate Professor at ETH Zurich, is researching this type of storage.
12 million for research into atomic-scale components
With a donation of 12M CHF the Werner Siemens Stiftung will support a newly founded Centre for Single-Atom Electronics and Photonics at ETH Zurich in Switzerland and KIT in Germany. On the ETH side, Prof Jürg Leuthold from the Institute of Electromagnetic Fields and Prof. Mathieu Luisier from the Integrated Systems Laboratory will be in charge of fabricating and modeling single-atom devices/systems, respectively.
M. Luisier selected for IBM Faculty Award
The IBM Faculty Awards is a competitive worldwide program intended to foster collaboration between researchers at leading universities worldwide and those in IBM research.
