Self-organized wrinkled templates are homogeneously fabricated over a large area (cm2) glass substrates by defocused ion beam irradiation, demonstrating the capability to induce and modify at will out-of-plane tilt of nanofacets with selected slope. We identify region morphological instability which leads faceting for incidence angles respect surface, θ, in range 15° ≤ θ 45°, while normal incid...

Carbon nanotubes combined with intrinsically conducting polymers are considered to contribute to further progress in nanoelectronics and to the development of improved electronic and optoelectronic devices. This article resumes our work on highly functional and processible polyaniline-carbon nanotube composite materials and shows the close relation between functionality and processing behaviour...

One of the problems with traditional AI and ANNs was that they did not scale well. But recently, the computational neuroscience community has started providing scalable algorithms (often loosely based on cortical models) that can be applied to large intelligent computing problems. These new algorithms, when combined with hybrid nanoelectronics, have the potential for “comparably scalable neurom...
