Nanochemists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Nano-Science Center, Department of Chemistry at University of Copenhagen have developed nanoscale electric contacts out of organic and inorganic nanowires. In the contact they have crossed the wires like Mikado sticks and coupled several contacts together in an electric circuit. In this way they have produced prototype computer electronics on the nanoscale. http://www.physorg.com/news169727773.html Nanotechnology Mon, 17 Aug 2009 12:10:02 EST news169727773 (PhysOrg.com) -- A new generation of ultrasmall transistors and more powerful computer chips using tiny structures called semiconducting nanowires are closer to reality after a key discovery by researchers at IBM, Purdue University and the University of California at Los Angeles. http://www.physorg.com/news178459486.html Nanotechnology Thu, 26 Nov 2009 14:00:05 EST news178459486 (PhysOrg.com) -- Purdue University researchers are making progress in developing a new type of transistor that uses a finlike structure instead of the conventional flat design, possibly enabling engineers to create faster and more compact circuits and computer chips. http://www.physorg.com/news177088957.html Technology Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:24:39 EST news177088957 Stanford chemists have developed a new way to make transistors out of carbon nanoribbons. The devices could someday be integrated into high-performance computer chips to increase their speed and generate less heat, which can damage today's silicon-based chips when transistors are packed together tightly. http://www.physorg.com/news131123209.html Nanotechnology Tue, 27 May 2008 16:06:49 EST news131123209 Researchers from the Hitachi Central Research Laboratory, Japan, and the Advanced Technology Institute of the University of Surrey today report that nano-designed transistors for the large area display and sensor application field benefit hugely from quantum size effects. http://www.physorg.com/news137418073.html Nanotechnology Fri, 08 Aug 2008 12:41:13 EST news137418073 Even before Weixiao Huang received his doctorate from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, his new transistor captured the attention of some of the biggest American and Japanese automobile companies. The 2008 graduate`s invention could replace one of the most common pieces of technology in the world -the silicon transistor for high-power and high-temperature electronics. http://www.physorg.com/news129903497.html Technology Tue, 13 May 2008 13:18:17 EST news129903497 (PhysOrg.com) -- IBM Researchers today announced that they demonstrated the operation of graphene field-effect transistors at GHz frequencies, and achieved the highest frequencies reported so far using this novel non-silicon electronic material. http://www.physorg.com/news148916104.html Nanotechnology Fri, 19 Dec 2008 13:35:04 EST news148916104 (PhysOrg.com) -- An MIT team led by Tomás Palacios, assistant professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, has succeeded in combining two semiconductor materials, silicon and gallium nitride, that have different and potentially complementary characteristics, into a single hybrid microchip. This is something researchers have been attempting to do for decades. http://www.physorg.com/news172316465.html Technology Wed, 16 Sep 2009 10:43:14 EST news172316465 Researchers have used the world's thinnest material to create the world's smallest transistor, one atom thick and ten atoms wide. http://www.physorg.com/news127659264.html Nanotechnology Thu, 17 Apr 2008 13:54:24 EST news127659264 The fast pace of growing computing power could be sustained for many years to come thanks to new research from the UK's National Physical Laboratory (NPL) that is applying advanced techniques to magnetic semiconductors. http://www.physorg.com/news148054154.html Nanotechnology Tue, 09 Dec 2008 14:09:14 EST news148054154 WITH market analysts predicting a ten fold increase in the value of the organic light emitting display industry, from £1.5 billion to £15.5 billion, by 2014, it is no wonder that scientists and governments alike are keen to advance research into "plastic electronics". http://www.physorg.com/news134054002.html Physics Mon, 30 Jun 2008 14:13:22 EST news134054002 (PhysOrg.com) -- As technology advances, scientists look for ways to enhance electronic applications and devices. Indeed, electronics are getting smaller and more diverse. And as this happens, there is an increased requirement for flexibility in transistors, which make the electronic devices we desire work. Unfortunately, silicon and polymers may not fulfill the requirements needed to advance on to the transistors of the future. http://www.physorg.com/news172837799.html Nanotechnology Tue, 22 Sep 2009 11:30:32 EST news172837799 Scientists at the University of Glasgow, in collaboration with colleagues from Edinburgh, Manchester, Southampton and York universities, have developed technology which will help microchip designers create future integrated circuits. http://www.physorg.com/news178721729.html Technology Sun, 29 Nov 2009 13:20:02 EST news178721729 (PhysOrg.com) -- The technology of storing electronic information - from old cassette tapes to shiny laptop computers - has been a major force in the electronics industry for decades. http://www.physorg.com/news159110924.html Physics Thu, 16 Apr 2009 14:29:16 EST news159110924 Scientists at Rice University and North Carolina State University have found a method of attaching molecules to semiconducting silicon that may help manufacturers reach beyond the current limits of Moore's Law as they make microprocessors both smaller and more powerful. http://www.physorg.com/news167569673.html Nanotechnology Thu, 23 Jul 2009 12:08:31 EST news167569673
