June 20 - 25, 2010 :: Joint Summer School on "Atomic-level Response of Materials to Irradiation" will be hosted by the Center for Materials at Irradiation and Mechanical Extremes(Los Alamos National Laboratory), the Center for Defect Physics in Structural Materials (Oak Ridge National Laboratory), and the Center for Materials Science of Nuclear Fuel (Idaho National Laboratory). More information can be found here.
Highlights
Tuning Magnetism With Voltage Opens a New Path to Neuromorphic Circuits
Experiments show that applied voltage can dramatically alter the magnetic properties of quantum materials.
The “Edge of Chaos” Amplifies Signals Without Transistors
Emulating the edge of chaos of axons enables a metal wire to overcome its resistance without cooling, thereby amplifying signals flowing inside of it.
