- Engineers seek “switchable” materials to power next-generation microelectronicshris Hinkle is on the hunt for new materials. He needs them to power faster, smaller and more efficient chips for next-generation microelectronics, so only materials with the right chemistry and structure will do. “Current materials are not able to keep up with the growing needs for very tightly packed components,” said Hinkle, Leonard C. Bettex Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. “The materials used previously are simply falling short of performance requirements.” Hinkle, who is principal investigator on a new NSF-funded, multi-institutional semiconductor project, is looking for “switchable” semiconductor materials that can either conduct or impede the flow of electricity when activated by an external trigger.

- Electrical engineers harness memory for device-level securityEverything from smart phones to supercomputers needs memory, and tomorrow’s devices will demand faster, more energy-efficient memory technologies to store ever increasing data. Non-volatile memory (NVM) is a type of storage that retains data even after the power has been turned off. While this feature eliminates the need for constant power to maintain stored data, the data left on the device is vulnerable to theft. “What we are trying to do is to keep a malicious third party from gaining access to the data stored on this type of memory,” said Kai Ni, assistant professor of electrical engineering at the University of Notre Dame. His research on embedding security in memory, carried out in collaboration with the lab of Vijaykrishnan Narayanan at Pennsylvania State University, was recently published in Nature Communications.
