A Ferroelectric Transistor That Stores and Computes at Scale
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Science have introduced a new FE-FET design that demonstrates record-breaking performances in both computing and memory. A recent study published in Nature Nanotechnology led by Deep Jariwala, Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering, and Kwan-Ho Kim, a Ph.D. candidate in his lab, debuted the design. They collaborated with fellow Penn Engineering faculty members Troy Olsson, Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering, and Eric Stach, Robert D. Bent Professor of Engineering in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and Director of the Laboratory for Research on the Structure of Matter. READ MORE
On a Different Wavelength, Nader Engheta Leads a Community in Light
Nader Engheta, H. Nedwill Ramsey Professor in Electrical and Systems Engineering, Bioengineering, Materials Science and Engineering, and Physics & Astronomy, was puzzled when he got a call from the psychology department about a fish. In the early 1990s, Engheta, a newly minted associate professor of electrical engineering in Penn’s School of Engineering and Applied Science, was a respected expert in radio wave technologies. But in recent years, his work had been expanding into subjects at once more eccentric and fundamental. READ MORE
Penn Launches New Center for Quantum Information, Engineering, Science and Technology (Penn QUIEST)
Through major investments by governments around the world, and with companies large and small seeking to realize practical quantum technologies, we are witnessing the dawn of the quantum information age. Today, Dawn Bonnell, Senior Vice Provost for Research, announces with Vijay Kumar, Nemirovsky Family Dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science and Professor in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics, Electrical and Systems Engineering, and Computer and Information Science, and Steven J. Fluharty, Dean of the School of Arts & Sciences and Thomas S. Gates, Jr. Professor of Psychology, Pharmacology, and Neuroscience, the formation of a new Center for Quantum Information, Engineering, Science and Technology (Penn QUIEST). Penn QUIEST will be led by Director Lee C. Bassett, Associate Professor in Electrical and Systems Engineering, together with an Executive Committee of faculty from the School of Engineering and Applied Science and the School of Arts & Sciences.
