Mihail Roco a senior advisor for nanotechnology at the National Science Foundation called the work n important scientific breakthrough. t was roughly 15 years ago that carbon nanotubes were fashioned first into transistors the on-off switches
and its cousins. uch concerns arise from the demands that designers place upon semiconductors and their fundamental workhorse unit those on-off switches known as transistors.
For decades progress in electronics has meant shrinking the size of each transistor to pack more transistors on a chip.
But as transistors become tinier they waste more power and generate more heatâ##all in a smaller and smaller space as evidenced by the warmth emanating from the bottom of a laptop.
Many researchers believe that this power-wasting phenomenon could spell the end of Moore s Law named for Intel Corp. cofounder Gordon Moore who predicted in 1965 that the density of transistors would double roughly every two years
and low-power switching make carbon nanotubes excellent candidates to serve as electronic transistors. NTS could take us at least an order of magnitude in performance beyond where you can project silicon could take uswong said.
The Stanford team used this imperfection-immune design to assemble a basic computer with 178 transistors a limit imposed by the fact that they used the university s chip-making facilities rather than an industrial fabrication process.
#New LED light technology sheds light on the future of food LED growing lights, delivering sunlight whatever the weather.
New LED light technology is the key that makes it possible to build vertically integrated farms.
LED LIGHTS can be tuned to emit only a narrow wavelength of light they can be combined to create perfect lighting that provide light on the ideal spectrum for a plant s growth.
There is potential for these multifunctional techno-greenhouses built around LED grow lights to increase the quality of the food we eat
and more likely to be incorporated in niche applications such as individual ultra-high-frequency transistors, suggests Andre Geim, from the University of Manchester, UK,

When a current passes through an inductor, it generates a magnetic field which in turn resists any change in the current.
Throwing switches in the inductor path causes it to alternately charge and discharge, so that the current flowing through it continuously ramps up

El-Damak and Chandrakasan use an electrical component called a capacitor, which can store electrical charge.
The higher the current, the more rapidly the capacitor fills. When it full, the circuit stops charging the inductor.
The rate at which the current drops off however, depends on the output voltage, whose regulation is the very purpose of the chip.
El-Damak and Chandrakasan thus equip their chip with a bank of capacitors of different sizes.
As the current drops, it charges a subset of those capacitors, whose selection is determined by the solar cell voltage.

Graphene a single layer of carbon atoms in a honeycomb lattice is increasingly being used in new electronic and mechanical applications such as transistors switches
While graphene has attracted wide interest as a biosensor due to its two-dimensional nature that allows excellent electrostatic control of the transistor channel by the gate
and high surface-to-volume ratio the sensitivity of a graphene field-effect transistor (FET) biosensor is restricted fundamentally by the zero band gap of graphene that results in increased leakage current leading to reduced sensitivity explained Banerjee
In digital electronics these transistors control the flow of electricity throughout an integrated circuit and allow for amplification and switching.

#Tunnel Transistor May Meet Power Needs of Future Chips A new kind of transistor consumes 90 percent less power than conventional transistors,
The relentless advance of computing power over the past half-century has relied on constant miniaturization of field-effect transistors (FETS),
Transistors act like switches that flick on and off to represent data as zeroes and ones. A key challenge that FETS now face is reducing the power they consume.
This led to a more than 90 percent reduction in power consumption compared with conventional FETS. The scientists and engineers detailed their findings in the 1 oct. issue of the journal Nature. his transistor represents a major breakthrough in the electronics and semiconductor industry

Until now, the only experimental TFET to meet the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) goal of average subthreshold swing below 60 millivolts per decade over four decades of current was a transistor that used nanowires.

#How LEDS Are Set to Revolutionize Hi-tech Greenhouse Farming It won't come as a surprise to discover that consumers all over the developed world are increasingly demanding seasonal vegetables all year round even
One obvious answer is to convert greenhouses from the traditional incandescent lighting usually high pressure sodium lamps to more energy-efficient LEDS.
but the industry has been slow to make this change because of the high initial cost of LEDS.
These guys have compared the life-cycle costs of traditional high pressure sodium lamps against those of LEDS for greenhouse lighting.
They calculate that the cumulative cost of high pressure sodium lamps surpasses that of LEDS after just seven years
and that after 16 years the cumulative cost of high pressure sodium lamps is more than double the equivalent cost of LEDS.
Although high pressure sodium lamps are individually cheaper than LEDS they have to be changed every year compared to every 19 years for LEDS.
And of course LEDS use considerably less electricity wasting little as heat. But the most interesting part of Singh and co s analysis is in the potential of LEDS to change the way that vegetables are grown.
High pressure sodium lamps emit light across the entire visible part of the spectrum and well into the infrared where much energy is lost as heat.
By contrast LEDS can be adjusted to emit light in very specific parts of the spectrum. Plant physiologists have known long that chlorophyll absorbs mainly in the blue green
That s easy with LEDS of course but impossible with sodium lampsat the same time various researchers have shown that flowering
LEDS give farmers greater flexibility at a lower cost and a smaller environmental footprint. These are surely goals worth aiming for r

The key to its success in replicating a sunny sky uses nanostructured materials to scatter light from LEDS in the same way tiny particles scatter sunlight in the atmosphere so-called Rayleigh scattering.
Illuminating research Only recently has the full utility of LEDS been realized for general lighting. While red and green LEDS had been in commercial use for more than a decade,
the missing color for producing white light was blue. Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano, and Shuji Nakamura cracked the blue conundrum in the early 1990s.
Now, thanks to their work, white light LEDS are ubiquitous. In recognition of this energy saving invention, they received the Nobel prize in Physics last year.
Take LEDS for example. Research in blue LEDS started more than 40 years ago at Radio Corporation of America,
but changes in the company funding structure stymied their development for two decades until last year Nobel prize winners solved the materials problem
