[Canada] Olive oil circuit runs nano-scale rings round silicon
By Simon Aughton, Scientists at a Canadian university have created the first ‘wet’ semiconductor device capable of outperforming conventional silicon chips, by ‘painting’ it onto glass. The University of Toronto (UofT) team cooked up semiconductor particles just a few nanometres across in a flask containing extra-pure oleic acid, the main ingredient in olive oil. The […]
