Banks in Germany Tell Customers To Take Deposits Elsewhere
Interest rates have been negative in Europe for years. But it took the flood of savings unleashed in the pandemic for banks finally to charge depositors in earnest. From a report: Germany's biggest lenders, Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank, have told ne.....»»
New skills of graphene: Tunable lattice vibrations
Without electronics and photonics, there would be no computers, smartphones, sensors, or information and communication technologies. In the coming years, the new field of phononics may further expand these options. That field is concerned with unders.....»»
Moore’s law is reaching its limits. Could graphene circuits help?
The number of transistors that chipmakers can pack into an integrated circuit is reaching the upper limit of what's possible. Wrinkled graphene could fix that......»»
