Just as a falling apple spurred Isaac Newton's discovery of gravity, toppling dominoes have inspired researchers to build the world's smallest computer circuits. Scientists at IBM's Almaden Research ...

Researchers at PARC and Thinfilm Electronics have finally managed to print -- as in, using a printer that is similar to the one attached to your computer -- a computer circuit consisting of ...

CNTs are hollow, cylindrical nanostructures composed of a single sheet of carbon atoms, and have exceptional electrical, physical and thermal properties 5,6,7. They can be used to fabricate CNT ...

Quantum mechanics describes the weird behavior of microscopic particles. Using quantum systems to perform computation promises to allow researchers to solve problems in areas from chemistry to ...

Researchers at IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., have created the world's first logic-performing computer circuit within a single molecule. Such circuits may someday lead to ...

You can add another crazy characteristic to graphene's ever-expanding list of "wonder material" properties: It can now be used to create flexible, transparent thin-film transistors... using an inkjet ...
