Research Spotlight

FacultyImage Beckman Institute faculty member Eric Pop has a paper in the current online edition of Physical Review Letters (Vol. 101, No. 25) titled Avalanche-Induced Current Enhancement in Semiconducting Carbon Nanotubes. Pop, a member of the Computational Electronics group, and collaborators Albert Liao and Yang Zhao report on results that demonstrate the importance of multiband transport in one-dimensional wires.

A new study by the Beckman Institute’s Art Kramer and Beckman Fellow Chandramallika Basak reports that, for the first time, a training program produced cognitive skill effects that could be transferred to skills not related to the experiment. Using an interactive video game, the researchers found that multi-dimensional training can affect several individual components of cognitive function.
