Part 3/9:
The foundation of this research was laid over several years, eventually being featured prominently in the New York Times due to its significant implications for computer chip miniaturization. The narrative of this evolution heavily involved a group of talented individuals, notably Juno Yao, who significantly contributed to the understanding of the silicon oxide electronics.
Yao's unique perspective stemmed from working with multiple professors at Rice University. His multidisciplinary approach, alongside contributions from other scholars, paved the way for significant advancements in non-volatile memory (NVM).
