Materials Today (February issue) Molecular electronics: What is it? How will it be applied in the future?
Introducing molecular electronics "In the natural world, molecules are used for many purposes. Using molecule-based materials for electronics, sensing, and optoelectronics is a new endeavor, called molecular electronics, and the subject both of riveting new research, and substantial popular press interest," says Mark Ratner. As one of... view more... (2002-02-06)

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)

Stable power supply thanks to wind turbines
Wind turbines can help keep the voltage in the electricity network at a constant level. The power electronics in the turbines can effectively correct peaks and dips in the mains voltage. This is the conclusion reached by NWO-funded researchers. Modern wind turbines are a good means of coping with fluctuations in the mains voltage. Such... view more... (2001-10-08)
