"The textbook said we should see slow, gradual and random. But what we saw? BOOM! Fast, explosive and organized!" said Michael Tringides, physicist at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory and a professor of physics and astronomy at Iowa State University.
The nano electronics market is strengthening on the back of a raft of new technologies and products such as mobile wireless devices, the internet of things (IoT) and cloud computing.
Optical computing has been held back by a lack of tiny light emitters to transmit data between a computer’s components, but new material options could overcome this barrier.
Researchers build “teeny, tiny structures” that can change infrared to visible light.
