A single organic device reconfigures as transistor, rectifier and logic gate, offering compact circuits with higher functional density for flexible and lightweight electronics. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

Forward-looking: The billions of transistors hidden within a single CPU are manufactured to execute just one specific function. A team of Viennese scientists, however, aims to introduce ...

Medical implants of the future may feature reconfigurable electronic platforms that can morph in shape and size dynamically as bodies change or transform to relocate from one area to monitor another ...

Unlike the Thunderbird Station, most space stations require several launches to fully lift into orbit. Thunderbird can be lifted in a single Falcon 9 launch thanks to its “morphic interior structure”.

Researchers have developed a general framework to design reconfigurable metamaterials. The design strategy is scale independent, meaning it can be applied to everything from meter-scale architectures ...

This paper compares reconfigurable IP – a class of processing cores that provide high-performance, low power, and run-time flexibility – with other forms of intellectual property, and explains how ...
