- Nanowires, nanoribbons and 'graphane' among materials that'll revolutionize computers
- Architects of the next generation of computers are developing a variety of nanostructures to meet the demand for increasingly smaller features for semiconductors, microprocessors, and other components. These tiny building blocks are quite extraordinary-some even self-assemble. And they'll help overcome many of the limitations of today's microelectronics...

- Material found in pencils may hold key to faster computer chips
- Move over silicon because graphene, the sheet-like form of carbon found in graphite pencils, may hold the key to smaller and faster electronics. In a paper published in the journal Advanced Materials, engineers at Ohio State University describe a technique for stamping many graphene sheets onto...

- Optical fibers with a silicon core?
- Optical fibers with a silicon core?And optical fibre is made of...Isn't optical fibre made from glass or plastic anyhow. And what is glass made of? ;)Hint: Not pure silicon...More often than not it's made of silcon dioxide (SiO2) or Silica and other ingredients that change the properties of the resulting...

- Graphene-based transistors on the way?
- The idea of replacing silicon with carbon to make computer chips is not new. However, using graphene -- a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice -- wasn't feasible because it is not possible today to make wafers as big as ones made from silicon. But two...

- What is nanopantography?
- If you don't know the answer, I cannot blame you. After all, a query for 'nanopantography' on Google returns only 43 results as I'm typing this. But researchers from the University of Houston say that nanopantography can create billions of nanotech devices in hours. The idea behind the technology is...

- CAD-CAM for nanotechnology manufacturing
- A team of U.S. researchers has used a computer aided design and manufacturing (CAD-CAM) process to guide an atomic force microscope AFM. According to them, this automated technique is 'paving the way for a nanotechnology's industrial revolution.' And their results look very promising. If they're confirmed -- and adopted by...

- Nanotechnology-based flexible hydrogen sensors
- Researchers from U.S. Argonne National Laboratory have developed flexible sensors for hydrogen vehicles. These sensors will be cheaper than previously designed hydrogen sensors because they will use only palladium nanoparticles instead of pure palladium. But they will be as efficient and could be used in many applications, like in vehicles,...

- The world's longest carbon nanotube
- As you probably know, carbon nanotubes have very interesting mechanical, electrical and optical properties. But they are small. Now, researchers at the University of Cincinnati UC have developed a process to build extremely long aligned carbon nanotube arrays. Theyve been able to produce 18-mm-long carbon nanotubes which might be spun...

- Will nanogenerators replace batteries?
- Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have built prototypes of a nanogenerator providing continuous electrical power by "harvesting mechanical energy from such environmental sources as ultrasonic waves, mechanical vibration or blood flow." According to the scientists, the prototype could produce as much as 4 watts per cubic centimeter. This...

- Really 'light' computers
- We've been told for a while that our computers will one day use light instead of electricity. But if transistors control the flow of electricity with on-off switches, it is trickier to control photons to simulate ones and zeros. Now, researchers at the University of Alberta are using a process...

- 3-D flexible computer chips
- Engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have isolated a single-crystal film of semiconductor from the substrate on which it is built. Then they transferred this very thin film -- 200 nanometers thick -- on plastic. Both sides of the film can host active components and several layers can be stacked,...
