Imec boosts MRAM write speed

Imec has  presented a deterministic write scheme for voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) magnetic random access memories (MRAMs), obviating the need for pre-reading the device before writing. This significantly improves the write duty cycle of the memory, enabling ns-scale write speeds. As a second improvement, a manufacturable solution for external-field-free VCMA switching operation was demonstrated. Both ...

A new approach to skin chemistry sensing

Engineers at University of California Los Angeles have found a way to create a stretchable adhesive skin chemistry sensor without serpentine electrical conductors. Instead, they persuaded the liquid sweat to move sideways through the film – maintaining stretchability – while electrical connections are made through the thickness of the sensor to a rigid electrode array at the ...
