Engineering the Future of Systems for Health, Environment and Energy
Chapter
Don’t-care conditions are flexibilities in logic networks that can be used to optimize networks by re-expressing incompletely specified Boolean functions. Don’t cares may arise from the internal structure of t...
Article
Quantum compilation is the task of translating a high-level description of a quantum algorithm into a sequence of low-level quantum operations. We propose and motivate the use of Xor-And-Inverter Graphs (XAG) ...
Chapter
In this paper, we study the post-fabrication phenomenon of natural oxidation of the Ti layer observed in a Pt/HfO2/Ti/Pt resistive random access memory (OxRRAM) stack with no external influence. We identify that ...
Chapter
We present an exact synthesis approach for computing Exclusive-or Sum-of-Products (ESOP) forms with a minimum number of product terms using Boolean satisfiability. Our approach finds one or more ESOP forms for a ...
Chapter
The coupling of memristive effect with biological interactions results in innovative nanobiosensors with high performance in both diagnostics and therapeutics. Silicon nanowire arrays exhibiting a memristive e...

Nano-Tera.ch is a landmark Swiss federal program to advance engineering system and device technologies with applications to Health and the Environment, including smart Energy generation and consumption. The name
Chapter
We give a general overview on Silicon nanowire-based multi-terminal memristive devices. The functionality of the devices can be used for logic, memory and sensing applications. It is shown that three- and four...
Chapter
Health management and monitoring has been one of the focal areas in the Nano-Tera program. Nano-Tera funded healthcare projects have targeted many issues that can be thematically categorized in four distinct c...
Chapter
Energy is a central concern that affects system design, society and the economy. The need for new sources of power, renewable and sustainable energy supplies, and smart cities is creating immense challenges al...

In this chapter, we present the full list, including all partners and key references, of three main types of projects:
Chapter and Conference Paper
Exclusive-or sum-of-products (ESOP) expressions are used as intermediate representations in quantum circuit synthesis flows, and their complexity impacts the number of gates of the resulting circuits. Many sta...
Chapter
Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) field-effect transistors (FETs) have been the fundamental brick for the development of modern micro-electronics since their introduction in the 1970s. Complementa...
Chapter
Within Nano-Tera first phase the objectives of the research on environmental monitoring included checking the quality of air and water, by measuring pollution in terms of biological and/or inorganic compounds;...
Chapter
In this chapter, we specifically address the impact of the Nano-Tera program as a whole. After its almost 10-year run, this provides an overall analysis of main achievements of the program. We describe the impact...
Article
A highly sensitive enzymatic biosensor is successfully experimented for detection of abiraterone in human serum with significance in personalized medicine and point-of-care chemotherapy of patients with metast...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The prospective of practical quantum computers has lead researchers to investigate automatic tools to program them. A quantum program is modeled as a Clifford+T quantum circuit that needs to be optimized in order...

In this paper, we study the post-fabrication phenomenon of natural oxidation of the Ti layer observed in a Pt/HfO2/Ti/Pt Resistive Random Access Memory (OxRRAM) stack with no external influence. We identify that ...
Article
Two-dimensional semiconducting materials of the transition-metal-dichalcogenide family, such as MoS2 and WSe2, have been intensively investigated in the past few years, and are considered as viable candidates for...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Wearable devices, e.g. smart-watches, are gaining popularity in many fields and in wellness monitoring too. In this paper we propose an IoT application to alert the medical doctor assigned to a critical unit by u...
