Optimization of Memristors for Information Storage and Neuromorphic Computing
[eng] The total amount of global information to be stored and computed is increasing exponentially since the beginning of the 21st century. The semiconductor industry made great efforts to push the silicon-based integrated ...
Understanding the measurements and variability of aerosol optical properties in NE Spain
[eng] Atmospheric aerosol particles are key for regulating Earth’s atmosphere processes, and are estimated to present an overall cooling effect on the Earth’s climate. Given the current climate change crisis, and the need ...
Non-Equilibrium Self-Assembly: Formation and Function of Meso-Structures with Applications in Biology and Material Science
[eng] A set of disordered interacting building blocks may form ordered structures via self-assembly. External intervention in the system through the addition of chemical species or the application of forces leads to different ...
Dark Matter and Massive Neutrinos: Cosmological Probes of Physics Beyond the Standard Model
[eng] The overwhelming evidence for the existence of dark matter in the Universe, and the discovery of the neutrino masses, are striking indicators of the need for new physics beyond the ΛCDM and Standard Model paradigms. ...
Development of high-resolution L4 ocean wind products
[eng] Heat, moisture, gas, and momentum exchanges at the oceanic and atmospheric interface modulate, inter alia, the Earth’s heat and carbon budgets, global circulation, and dynamical modes. Sea surface winds are fundamental ...
Electrohydrodynamic jet printing: stability and reproducibility
[eng] Additive manufacturing, also referred as 3D printing, is a layer-by-layer technique that allows producing three-dimensional objects directly from a digital model. It has enabled the fabrication of innovative products ...
