Modern age is looking for the technologies that can be easily handled and that have little or no effect on the environment. Many electronic goods have come up, which has enhanced technologies. For example, personal computers earlier were mainframes which occupied a lot of space. Today, they have been transformed into very small sized ones. Electronic manufacturers are developing smaller and the greener electronics that benefit the users and the environment.
According to sources of Wolkow, he and his team are trying to develop new technologies at atomic scale. He also says that they are trying to make things much better, smaller and cheaper which will limit for 30 years and told that their approach is coming to an end soon. Their final goal is to make ultra-low-power electronics, which is in wide usage today. For developing this kind of technologies, entirely new ways of computing are necessary.
Atomic-scale electronics
Wolkow team of National Institute for Nanotechnology, U of A's physics department are making researches on automatically precise technologies. Some of the researches that they previously undertook is a groundwork for the new basic electronics particularly for ultra-low-power electronics.
This team has created the smallest ever quantum dots, which is a single atom of electron measuring less than one nanometer. Wolkow says, these dots are vessels that confine electronics which are like pockets on a pool of table. Between the dots, there can be space so that the electrons can be in two pockets and also can share the electrons and interact. This development has laid a path for atomic-scale electronics.
New discoveries laid path for superior nanoelectronics
Recently, in a research paper published in physical review letters, post-doctoral fellow Bruno Martins along with Wolkow and his team discusses how the electrical current is passing across the skin of silicon crystal. They also measured the electrical resistance.
According to Wolkow, these silicon crystals are smooth. Some imperfections in each step are one atom high, which made them know the causes for electrical resistance. The ability to record magnitude of resistance laid a path to design nanoelectronic devices.
There is research by Wolkow and his team to give a path for the nanoelectronic devices. They are trying to launch this smaller and greener electronics very soon after the researches completed. These researches have the potentiality to entirely change the world basic electronics.
We can expect smaller and greener electronics coming into the market with the help of researchers such as Wolkow and his team researches.
