Successful Printing of Nanoparticle Copper Inks onto Commercial Paper

Researcher Reviews Challenges for Nanoscale Devices for Future Electronics New nanoscale materials and devices are required to replace the silicon transistor that's at the heart of today's semiconductors, but to build these new devices, researchers will have to be able to measure the thickness - if that's the right word - of layers consisting of only a few atoms, according to a UT Dallas researcher.

Why Some Transistors Made from Organic Crystals Don't Perform Well Electronic devices can't work well unless all of the transistors, or switches, within them allow electrical current to flow easily when they are turned on. A team of engineers has determined why some transistors made of organic crystals don't perform well, yielding ideas about how to make them work better. Full Story

New Transistor Design May Lead to Faster and More Compact Circuits and Computer Chips Purdue University researchers are making progress in developing a new type of transistor that uses a finlike structure instead of the conventional flat design, possibly enabling engineers to create faster and more compact circuits and computer chips.
