This week, at the 2026 IEEE / JSAP symposium on VLSI Technology & Circuits, imec, a world-leading research and innovation hub in advanced semiconductor technologies, presents two advances in ferroelectric memory research, targeting both ferroelectric capacitors and ferroelectric field-effect transistors as emerging candidates to enable low-voltage operation and high-density integration.
AGIL 2 combines CHESCO's research expertise with Citrine's AI, driving innovation in manufacturing for hybrid-electric mobility through digital integration.
Inside computer chips are billions of tiny transistors made from silicon.
When the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the Genesis Mission last fall, researchers at the DOE’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory were poised to jump on board the national effort to accelerate scientific and technological discovery through artificial intelligence.
Lightweight, higher-temperature alloys developed by researchers at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and funded by DOE's Transportation Technologies Office (TTO) have met the strength and durability operating requirements of General Motors' (GM) new low-mass, high-efficiency (LMHE) medium-duty truck engine.
Researchers developed a glaze-inspired CoO–Cr2O3 ceramic coating that self-heals thermally induced cracks through cobalt oxide phase segregation at elevated temperatures. The coating mimics protective cobalt-superalloy glaze layers, improving crack tolerance and supporting high-temperature tribological performance for gas turbine engine surfaces.

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have introduced an innovation in additive manufacturing by integrating origami-inspired 3D printing techniques with hybrid composites — materials made from mixed reinforcing components.
When the U.S. Department of Energy launched the Genesis Mission to supercharge artificial intelligence-driven scientific discovery and innovation, it needed more than supercomputers.
What would it take to instantly transform a material from an electrical insulator into a conductive state without ever touching it- Using ultrafast laser pulses and powerful X-rays, scientists at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II).
Delta Electronics, a global leader in power management and smart green solutions, today announced a microgrid system at its own Detroit-area facility, developed in partnership with DTE Energy and through the seamless integration of its smart energy solutions.
Rising heat and humidity are narrowing the environmental window in which data centers can rely on direct air-side free cooling without active humidity control. The study found growing out-of-spec hours across major data center regions, with tropical markets and parts of the southeastern United States facing the strongest constraints.

Researchers identified galvanic corrosion between deposited zinc and current collectors as a major, previously underappreciated cause of irreversible zinc loss in anode-less aqueous zinc batteries. A PVDF/CeF3 hybrid interface suppressed corrosion, guided dense zinc deposition, and enabled longer cycling, lower self-discharge, and pouch-cell energy densities exceeding 90 Wh L?¹.

Bruker's acquisition of TOFWERK signifies a new era, boosting innovation and strategic focus in mass spectrometry for critical applications in various markets.
Researchers developed SG-CDVAE, a symmetry-aware generative AI framework that embeds space-group information into the generation of crystal structures to improve the search for high-symmetry antiferromagnets. From 110,000 generated structures, the workflow identified 80 high-symmetry AFM candidates, of which 4 were computationally validated as thermodynamically and dynamically stable.
