I don't see how the opto can ever be turned on? Its cathode is always at highest potential in the left half circuit.

The gate leakage current was a serious concern until the High-K gate dielectric was found. It increased the gate dielectric thickness so tunneling current is reduced significantly (exponentially). Nowadays the main problems are subthreshold

Hmm I don't think he invented the polar notion. It is a standard representation of complex number to me and I have certainly used it back in school (I studied EE). This notion actually simplifies multiplication significantly.

I totally agree with you. For this particular article, if there is a clear and comprehensive specification on how the drives should perform (IOPs, latency, BW, etc), the problem will be resolved immediately with no controversy. The comment

Too bad you are being downvoted so heavily by asking a legitimate question. I think it does make sense to preserve as much genetic materials on earth as possible, regardless of what the species does to human. Considering we made sure to obt

Note the comment at the end of the paper. The authors had not been able to do it successfully with their relatively simple methodology. Sure it is harder than DDR2 but this doesn't mean it is impossible. As pointed out by the authors,
