Symposium on Nano- and Micro-Structural Mechanics

The Nano–Micro Interface: Bridging Micro and Nano Worlds

By its very title, Nano-Micro Interface: Bridging Micro and Nano Worlds is a timely book for the field of nanotechnology. Since researchers can make microscale objects nanoscale (the top-down approach) as well as atomic and molecular species nanoscale (the bottom-up approach) are there applications in nanoscience and technology that can benefit, or be revolutionized, by combining both approache...

th International Symposium on Microarchitecture MICRO - 45

As a promising nonvolatile memory technology, Phase Change Memory (PCM) has many advantages over traditional DRAM. Multilevel Cell PCM (MLC) has the benefit of increased memory capacity with low fabrication cost. Due to high per-cell write power and long write latency, MLC PCM requires careful power management to ensure write reliability. Unfortunately, existing power management schemes applied...

The Emerging Role of Multiscale Modeling in Nano- and Micro-mechanics of Materials

As a result of surging interest in finding fundamental descriptions for the strength and failure properties of materials, and the exciting prospects of designing materials from their atomic level, an international symposium on Multiscale Modeling was convened in Los Angeles during August 23 25, 2000. In this symposium, 23 speakers with research interests spanning fields as diverse as traditiona...

. Micro and Nano Systems (mns)

In recent years, a very large amount of scientific work has been achieved around Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS). Some industrial success stories (accelerometers, gyroscopes and MOEMS) have shown their maturity. MEMS are now starting to take place around us in our everyday life as the microelectronic did 20 years ago. However, a lot of effort is still needed for the integration of ICs a...
