Major breakthrough for brain-like computersA breakthrough at the University of Twente is bringing new brain-like computers one step closer. An international group of researchers led by Professor Christian Nijhuis has developed a new type of molecular switch that can learn from previous behaviour. The group published their results today in the scientific journal Nature Materials. Nijhuis: “These molecules learn in the same way our brains do.”Read more
The science of breaking free-standing thin filmsFree-standing thin films are used in a number of different applications, such as various microelectromechanical systems and thin free-standing membranes to make transparent windows for electrons, X-rays and extreme ultraviolet. In his PhD project, Dr Airat Shafikov studied mechanical fracture of such free-standing thin films and developed new techniques to characterize their fracture properties. For this work, he has been awarded a cum laude degree.Read more
