Pump up the signal with a dash of noise
Here's my new article coming out in tomorrow's New Scientist:
A noise-sensitive silicon beam could be the basis of a new type of computer memory
MIX some static over a DJ's tunes and you will surely kill the party. Do the same to the vibrations of a nanoscale silicon beam, and it will transform the way it responds to feeble signals. The device, which exploits a phenomenon called stochastic resonance, could act as the basis of a sensitive probe for tiny forces, or as a mechanical alternative to conventional computer memory....
