No longer just a spectator, silicon oxide gets into the electronics action on computer chips
In the materials science equivalent of a football fan jumping onto the field and scoring a touchdown, scientists are documenting that one fundamental component of computer chips, long regarded as a passive bystander, can actually be made to act like a switch. View More (2011-01-20)
The inside dope
Often, things can be improved by a little 'contamination.' Steel, for example is iron with a bit of carbon mixed in. To produce materials for modern electronics, small amounts of impurities are introduced into silicon - a process called doping. View More (2007-07-27)
New polymers for applications in nanopatterning and nanolithography

Building blocks of the future
Structure and properties of carbon nanostructures The discovery in 1985 of fullerenes, tiny carbon balls of nanometer dimensions, ushered in a new era in international science. Only a few years later (1991) scientific interest also started to focus on so-called carbon nanotubes. The discovery of improved production methods (1996) has meanwhile turned the analysis of the structure and properties... View More (2002-12-05)
A mysterious change in the wave properties of electrons
The electrons of a perfect metallic surface move like free waves in a plane. Nevertheless, if atomic barriers are inserted, this may restrict their movement in one dimension, forming stationary waves such as those on the water surface in a bucket. View More (2004-09-30)
