Ferroelectric transistors for low-power NAND flash memory - Nature
Ultralow-power ferroelectric field-effect transistors are used to achieve low-power NAND flash memory, overcoming the trade-off between multi-level capability and power efficiency and paving the way for next-generation storage memory.

The Greens are now the natural partner for the Albanese government if it, too, wants to “get shit done”.
The Greens, Labor, and the environment all scored a win today — it's a lesson in how politics *should* work

The Greens have secured enviro laws with new protections for native forests & stopped Labor from fast-tracking coal & gas.
We’ve got outcomes that forest campaigners have fought for across decades.
We’ve made it harder for big corporations to keep wrecking our environment.

🎄 Many Christmas markets are opening in Germany this weekend.
An essential part of the Advent period for many Germans, the origins date back to the Middle Ages.
Over time they evolved from serving a practical purpose to a meeting place for people to come together and be merry.

When student loan repayments bring in over three times more revenue than the petroleum resources rent tax (PRRT), it’s clear the system is broken.
I welcome the govt’s 20% HECS cut, but there’s much more to do. Degrees are still too expensive, and this cut doesn’t help students starting this year.

Metacognition is often described as ‘thinking about our thinking’. It involves being aware of how our mind works and using that awareness to improve how we learn.
