Ferroelectric Helps Break Transistor Limits

Cars That Think

The researchers behind the project say this shows that negative capacitance, which has been extensively studied in silicon, may have broader applications than previously appreciated. Salahuddin has been studying negative capacitance in silicon transistors since 2007. This is not conventionally achievable,” he says.

Researchers detect broad range of emerging synthetic antioxidants in dust in e-waste recyling centers

Green Car Congress

Now, researchers have detected a broad range of emerging synthetic antioxidants, called hindered phenol and sulfur antioxidants, in dust from electronic waste (e-waste) recycling workshops, possibly posing risks for the workers inside. An open-access paper on the work is published in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology Letters.
