Researchers take a step towards light-based, brain-like computing chip

The scientists produced a chip containing a network of artificial neurons that works with light and can imitate the behaviour of neurons and their synapses. The network is able to 'learn' information and use this as a basis for computing and recognizing patterns.

Next-gen graphene devices with enhanced speed of high frequency signal transmission

Researchers developed next generation core semiconductor technology based on graphene with enhanced high frequency signal transmission speed.

Flexible, transparent monolayer graphene device for power generation and storage

Researchers developed single-layer graphene based multifunctional transparent devices that are expected to be used as electronics and skin-attachable devices with power generation and self-charging capability.

Leveraging interprofessional education to the study of nanosafety and nanomedicine

Creating a meaningful dialogue about risk assessment and management of nano-(bio)materials through cross-cutting insights from nanosafety and nanomedicine fields was the mission a training school delivered by the three EU projects Horizon 2020 projects BIORIMA, GRACIOUS and NanoInformaTIX.
