Determining the Properties of Silicon Nanowires

Over the past few years, the amount of work that has gone into determining the characteristics of silicon nanowires has increased considerably, mostly because they represent the future of the electronics industry, right next to their carbon nanotube cousins. In their search for ever-smaller t... [ read more >> ]
