Removing Computer Chip Defects by Melting Could Lead to Smaller and Faster Chips

As microchips shrink, even tiny defects in the lines, dots and other shapes etched on them become major barriers to performance. Princeton engineers have now found a way to literally melt away such defects, using a process that could dramatically improve chip quality without increasing fabrication cost

High Performance Integrated Circuits, Biosensors, Solar Cells, LEDs and Lasers to Come From Nanowire Nanotrees

Since scientists first learned to make nanowires, the nano-sized wires just a few millionths of a centimeter thick have taken many forms, including nanobelts, nanocoils and nanoflowers. But when University of Wisconsi...

Sandia Researcher Writes the Book on Carbon Nanotubes

Sandia National Laboratories is also in on the carbon nanotube game, with research led by physicist François Léonard. Léonard has considerable experience in the subject, so much that he wrote the book on it — literally. He’s the author of a forthcoming work, Physics of Carbon Nanotube Devices, which could become the definitive text on the topic.

Strong Price Reductions May Hold Back MEMS Development

Although revenues for MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) reached record levels in 2007, aggressive price reductions, legal wrangling, and rising pressure from competitive technologies took their toll on the MEMS ind...

NIST Research Shows Nanoimprint Lithography can Produce Superior Nanoporous Insulator Layers in Advanced Semiconductor Devices

In what should be good news for integrated circuit manufacturers, recent studies by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have helped resolve two important questions about an emerging microcircuit manufacturing technology called nanoimprint lithography—yes, it can accurately stamp delicate insulating structures on advanced microchips, and, no, it doesn’t damage them, in fact it makes them better.

Advances in Data Storage and Quantum Computing to Come From Simulation That Shows How Graphene Can Form Iridium Muffins

Graphene flakes are notoriously difficult to work with. Still, they are stronger than diamond, better heat-shedders and conductors than silicon, and thought to have great potential in the worlds of microelectronics and sensors. If only they could be tamed.
