Memory boost on a wire
19 Jan 2010A nanowire-based device may set the stage for the realization of next-generation ultrasmall memories
It takes two
5 Jan 2010High-performance transistors based on silicon–germanium nanowires can be made using an approach compatible with existing mass-production techniques
When is ultrathin too thin?
27 Oct 2009Theoretical studies suggest that silicon nanowires shorter than 3 nm lose their intrinsic electronic characteristics when incorporated between metal electrodes
Advanced protection for plastic electronics
27 Oct 2009Flexible electronic devices are now even more likely thanks to a major new investment in Tera-Barrier Films’ revolutionary protective technology.
