Currently chip manufacturers are facing great challenges in miniaturizing transistors, a semiconductor device commonly used to amplify or switch electronic signals. A recent study, published in the November 27 issue of Science, details how a team of researchers from UCLA, Purdue and IBM have successfully grown semiconducting nanowires made of silicon-germanium that could lead to a new generation of smaller, faster, and more powerful electronics many hope for in the industry. ...> Full Article
