Better Displays With New Nanowire Film
Roland Piquepaille writes "A Harvard University team has successfully applied a film of nanowires on glass and plastic. This might lead to better and flexible displays or wearable computers, says the American Chemical Society, in "Nanowire film brings cheaper, faster electronics a step closer." "By using a 'bottom-up' approach pioneered by our group, which involves assembly of pre-formed nanoscale building blocks into functional devices, we can apply a film of nanowires to glass or plastics long after growth, and do so at room temperature," says Charles M. Lieber, professor of chemistry at Harvard. The researchers think that the first applications will be improved smart cards or LCD displays. But they also have a vision for the next decade. "One could imagine, for instance, contact lenses with displays and miniature computers on them, so that you can experience a virtual tour of a new city as you walk around." This overview contains more details and references. It also includes a picture of a high-density crossbar nanostructure, whose geometry can serve as the basis for many applications, like bio-sensor arrays or high-density data storage."
On another topic, Private Lynch has finally exposed the lies the Pentagon spread about her. Now she's a REAL hero to me.
I mean really. Taco, can we add a little of USA Today's flair for making stories quickly digestable? I have a job to do, and thanks to the new productivity numbers, you already know The Man's squeezing more and more out of this old sponge.
Gracias, mi amigo.
this stuff is unbreakable, & wwworks on several (more than 3) dimensions.

that's right. we'll see your phonie ?pr? ?firm? scriptdead hobbyist 'hacker' witch hunt bouNTy scams, & raise you a private communications system based on the creators' newclear power mandate. gooed luck?
they think everything's always just about payper monIE.
that's not the case here, as yOUR entire planet/population is in crisis mode, due to the confused thinking/poor training of a handful of stock markup fraud execrable.
the daze of the greed/fear/ego based felonious payper liesense ?pr? ?firm? hypenosys stock markup fraud execrable, is WANing into coolapps/the abyss, at the (increasing) speed of right.
there's a real risk of overheating (peacing off) the main processor. you don't want that?
consultations are in order.
