A team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), which developed a new ferroelectric material in 2021, has used the same substance to fabricate transistors. The new ultra-thin transistors are said to be superior to those used in electronic devices today.

Instead of just looking at Tuscany, consider visiting Lazio on your next trip to Italy. Mexico’s Guadalupe Valley and Hungary’s Tokaj are often overlooked, but they produce amazing wines. I first became interested in wine while studying in Australia. I visited wineries in the Adelaide Hills and Barossa Valley, but the wines I sampled were nothing like Boone’s Farm’s Strawberry Hill or $6 California “champagne.”This first encounter spurred my serious pursuit…
