Electrochromic (EC) smart windows are able to vary their throughput of visible light and solar
energy by the application of an electrical voltage and are able to provide energy efficiency …

ABSTRACT A film fabricated by the assembling of nanoparticles that retain, at least partially,
their individuality is expected to show substantially different structural and functional …

Electronics and soft robotics demand the development of a new generation of hybrid
materials featuring novel properties. Among these, remarkable mechanical properties are …

Self‐assembled nanoparticle or nanowire networks have recently come under the spotlight
as systems able to emulate brain‐like data processing performances by exploiting the …

We report the observation of non-metallic electrical conduction, resistive switching, and a
negative temperature coefficient of resistance in nanostructured gold films above the …

Abstract Unconventional Computing (UComp) identifies several data processing paradigms
focused on exploiting emergent complexity and collective phenomena from various classes …

We report that close to a Mott transition there is an emergence of large thermal noise (S th)
which occurs concomitantly with large correlated flicker noise (1 f noise) with significant non …

Physical systems that exhibit brain-like behaviour are currently under intense investigation
as platforms for neuromorphic computing. We show that discontinuous metal films …

Plasmoelectronics is a fast developing field driven by the combination of charge transport
and surface plasmons in metal nanostructures. In this paper, we report on theoretical and …

Gold (Au) thin films exhibit varied optical properties, ranging from metal-like behavior in
percolated films to localized surface plasmons in island thin films. Additionally, thermal …
