Japanese Findings Assist the Advancement of Nano-Technology

November 4th, 2009 · No Comments · Other Science, Physics

     Japanese researchers have recently come up with the technology to build electronic wires that are as small as only one atom in diameter. Unfortunately, the wires have been proven hard to study because of oxidation and the frailty of the wires. By growing them inside carbon nanotubes, smaller wires are given protection and are [...]
