Stylized image of particle accelerator at Fermilab that produces beam of neutrinos to measure protons.

Led by researchers from the University of Rochester, scientists from the international collaboration MINERvA have, for the first time, used a beam of hard-to-detect neutrinos to investigate the structure of protons.

Scientists have discovered a new way to investigate the structure of protons using neutrinos, known as ‘ghost particles.’

Straining memory leads to new computing possibilities

“We’ve combined the idea of a memristor and a phase-change device in a way that can go beyond the limitations of either device,” says Stephen Wu, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering and of physics.

Researchers develop hybrid phase-change memristors that offer fast, low-power, and high-density computing memory.
