2D materials are widely seen as a promising path toward better computer chips. Researchers at TU Wien have now shown that ...

The selection of the proper materials for a structural component is critical to engineering design. Existing design procedures may currently be sufficient, especially where experience exists, but ...

Chemists accidentally invented an unusual new material that could make the next generation of computer chips much faster. The best-known semiconductor today is silicon, the 14 th element on the ...

As she walks around the lab of Rigetti Computing, quantum engineer Sabrina Hong strains to make her voice heard over a loud pumping noise. It’s the heartbeat of helium refrigerators cooling down the ...

Engineers at EPFL have created a new computer chip that can both process and store data in the same circuit. It’s made using a two-dimensional material called molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2), paving the ...

This chapter discusses the structural design context for materials selection, the materials selection process, the evolution of computer systems that support the design process, and the needs for ...
