in this paper, an exchange of letters between the philosopher jacques derrida and architect peter eisenman is used as a catalyst to discuss the material qualities of glass and its relationship with the concept of transparency in architecture. in his criticism of an architecture devoid of human qualities, derrida uses glass, defined through walter benjamin’s writings, as a hard and cold material...

Abstract Resistive-memory devices promise to revolutionize modern computer architecture eliminating the data-shuttling bottleneck between memory and processing unit. Recent years have seen a surge of experimental demonstrations such built upon two-dimensional materials based metal–insulator–metal structures. However, fundamental mechanism nonvolatile resistive switching has remained elusive. He...

Porous silicon (PSi) is used as an effective material in biomedicine, sensors, solar cells, electrochemical energy, microelectronics, and nanotechnology. Considering the dependence of PSi functional properties on pore geometry porous layer architecture, it important to develop methods for controlled formation. After all, “procession” method obtaining ⟶ architecture PSi, decisive role belongs fi...
