Graphene-Based Memristors Show Promise For Brain-Based Computing
A team of engineers is attempting to pioneer a type of computing that mimics the efficiency of the brain’s neural networks while exploiting the brain’s analog nature.
New Sulfur Dioxide Conversion Method May Transform Current Industrial Techniques
A single-step, plasma-enhanced catalytic process to convert sulfur dioxide to pure sulfur from tail gas streams may provide a promising, more environmentally-friendly alternative to current multistage thermal, catalytic and absorptive processes.
Imitating The Brain To Make Computers More Efficient
The human brain is a more efficient computer than the most sophisticated supercomputers — by a factor of a million.
Novel Cellulose Finding May Lead To New Chemicals, Biofuels
A multi-institutional research group has identified, for the first time, how cellulose crystals orient themselves relative to the cell wall in plants, with potential implications for chemical and energy development.
