work alongside humans in the workplace. Unlike traditional ro- bots that operate in isolation and
require dedicated spaces, cobots are designed to be safe, efficient, and adaptable, making them ide- al for a wide range of applica- tions in various industries. Cobots are designed to work
collaboratively with humans, rather than replacing them. They can be programmed to per- form a range of tasks, from as- sembly and welding to packaging and inspection. They can also be used to au-
tomate repetitive or dangerous tasks, freeing up human workers to focus on more complex or cre- ative tasks.

Ferroelectric Transistor is Reconfigurable
ANN ARBOR, MI — One month after announcing a ferroelectric semiconductor at the nanoscale thinness required for modern computing components, a team at the University of Michigan has demonstrated a reconfig- urable transistor using that ma- terial.

of transistor, it opens up the pos- sibility for integrating multifunc- tional devices, such as reconfig- urable transistors, filters and resonators, on the same plat- form-all while operating at very high frequency and high power,” says Zetian Mi, U-M professor of electrical and computer engi- neering who led the research, “That’s a game changer for many applications.” At its most basic level, a
transistor is a kind of switch, let- ting an electric current through or preventing it from passing.

(FeHEMT) — a twist on the HEMTs that can increase the signal, known as gain, as well as offering high switching speed and low noise. This makes them well suited as amplifiers for sending out signals to cell towers and Wi-Fi routers at high speeds.

The one demonstrated at Michi- gan is known as a ferroelectric high electron mobility transistor
of cobots is their flexibility. They are easy to program and can be quickly reprogrammed to per- form new tasks, making them ideal for businesses that need to adapt to changing market condi- tions or production require- ments. They are also designed to be easy to operate, which means that even workers without spe- cialized training can use them. Another advantage of cobots is their safety. Unlike traditional

Minimizing EV Impact on the Grid
CAMBRIDGE, MA — National and global plans to combat cli- mate change include increasing the electrification of vehicles and the percentage of electricity gen- erated from renewable sources. But some projections show that these trends might require costly new power plants to meet peak loads in the evening when cars are plugged in after the workday. What’s more, overproduction of power from solar farms during the daytime can waste valuable
