- Self-Powered Silicon Laser Chips
A new method of turning waste heat into electrical power might speed up communications inside computers -- and mark another advance in the field of silicon photonics.
- Z Machine
The world's most powerful X-ray source
- Black Silicon
Irradiating a silicon surface with femtosecond laser pulses in the presence of a sulfur containing gas transforms the flat, mirror-like surface of a silicon wafer into a forest of microscopic spikes.
- Vertically Oriented Nanoelectronics
Engineers at Purdue University have developed a technique to grow individual carbon nanotubes vertically on top of a silicon wafer, a step toward making advanced electronics, wireless devices and sensors using nanotubes by stacking circuits and components in layers.
