Nanosensing and nanoelectronic animations

For those of us struggling to keep up with the very latest nanotech research: Get a quick intro of two key areas from the website of Harvard’s Prof. Charles Lieber, co-chair of this fall’s Foresight Conference on Advanced Nanotechnology research sessions. See the nanoelectronics animation on his homepage, and the nanosensing one here. Also on… Continue reading Nanosensing and nanoelectronic animations

Nanotech: the future of computer chips

Just back from the INC1 conference on nanotechnology and the future of computer chips. Lots of great talks for those tracking this field. Favorites today: Paolo Gargini of Intel on roadmaps and Michiharu Nakamura of Hitachi on work in Japan. Mike Roco’s talk included 4th generation nanotech featuring robotics and guided assembly. Strong international participation… Continue reading Nanotech: the future of computer chips

New single molecule transistor controlled by one atom's charge

Appearing in Nature today is a report from Canada of a new single molecule transistor, wriiten up in the San Francisco Chronicle by Glen Martin: “Wolkow said his team demonstrated that a molecule could be controllably charged by a single atom while all adjacent atoms remained neutral.” There’s a quote by me, and as is… Continue reading New single molecule transistor controlled by one atom's charge

Really fast transistors

Posted by Ben Harper: ScienceDaily is pointing out here that scientists at UIUC’s Micro and Nanotechnology lab have fabricated an indium phosphide and indium gallium arsenide transistor which can switch at 604 GHz. Thats 200x the clock speed of relatively state of the art silicon microprocessors running at 3 GHz. However its likely that given… Continue reading Really fast transistors
