Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have made a new material that is both liquid and magnetic. This discovery could lead to a revolutionary class of printable liquid devices for a variety of applications – from artificial cells that deliver targeted cancer therapies to flexible liquid robots that can change their shape to adapt to their surroundings.

Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed the first programmable #memristor computer, which could lead to the processing of artificial intelligence directly on small, energy-constrained devices such as smartphones and sensors. A smartphone AI processor would mean that voice commands would no longer have to be sent to the cloud for interpretation, speeding up response time. Memristors represent one of today’s latest technological advances in nanoelectronics.

Researchers at the University of Florida, who are part of an international consortium, have found that silver nanowires are safer to use than the thicker wires used in today’s touchscreens. Combined with the ability to create interconnected joints, nanowires have potential use in not only cell phones but clothes, wearable electronics, medical sensors, and solar panels.

An international team of researchers led by the University of Michigan has measured heat transfer through a single molecule. This advance could be a step toward molecular computing -- building circuits up from molecules rather than carving them out of silicon as a way to push Moore's Law to its limits and make the most powerful conventional computers possible.

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have discovered signs of superconductivity in three-layer sheets of graphene, renewing hope that layered graphene will soon help researchers understand how superconductivity occurs in copper oxides. That understanding could lead to higher-temperature superconductors—or even room-temperature ones—which could produce massive energy savings in electrical grids and devices.
