Nebraska, Buffalo researchers create first magneto-electric transistor
Christian Binek, Peter Dowben, Will Echtenkamp, Ather Mahmood, and colleagues from the University at Buffalo have teamed up to fabricate a new type of transistor that could curb energy consumption of microelectronics and reduce the number of transistors needed to store certain data by as much as 75%. This new transistor could cut 5 percent from the world's digital energy budget, while also saving space and retaining memory in the event of a power loss. (4/11/22)
Xu paper on cover of Crystal Growth & Design
A paper on organic ferroelectrics by Xiaoshan Xu and colleagues was recently published as a cover story in Crystal Growth & Design. The article is titled "Highly Oriented Organic Ferroelectric Films with Single-Crystal-Level." (4/6/22)
Remembering the life and work of David Sellmyer
Founding director of the Nebraska Center
for Materials and Nanoscience, David J. Sellmyer, 83, died at home
surrounded by his family on March 25. Sellmyer was the driving force
behind the creation of NCMN, the Voelte-Keegan Nanoscience Research
building, and the Nebraska Nanoscale Facility. Dan Claes, current
department chair and professor of physics and astronomy said of Sellmyer's
leadership, "I don’t believe there’s anyway we could overstate the impact
Dave has had on the department, university and specifically our materials
science program. It’s a legacy that will be with us this forever.”
Condolences can be left on the Wyuka website, and a recording of the funeral service is
available on YouTube. (4/5/22)
