Cheap Metal-Insulator-Metal (MiM) Diode Created

Posted by Soulskill on from the technological-increment dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Progress on metal-insulator-metal diode manufacturing was just reported online in the professional journal Advanced Materials (abstract). For the first time a high-performance 'metal-insulator-metal' diode was created with cheap materials. This is a fundamental discovery. It could change the way manufacturers produce electronic products at high speed, on a huge scale, and at a very low cost, even less than with conventional methods."

    What are you smoking? Sounds yummy.

    Just about every scientist who's employed in a university wants to give away their published articles for free to anyone with even a tiny interest. The only ones who like paywalls are publishers.

    Silicon is not something we're going to run out of in the foreseeable future. If we do, it would probably be right after we ran out of nitrogen.
