[The Guardian] Strain-gating piezotronics: New class of piezoelectric logic devices created using zinc oxide nanowires Researchers have developed a new class of electronic logic device in which current is switched by an electric field generated by the application of mechanical strain to zinc oxide nanowires. [Science daily] Update Firmware On Your HDTV, Camera, Smartphone, PC These days, most of your electronics have miniature computers built-in: Home-theater gear, handheld devices, phones, and even appliances now have embedded smarts in the form of a microprocessor, memory, and software. And just like computer software, firmware--the software that runs on your (...) [Network World] Silicon oxide circuits break barrier: Nanocrystal conductors could lead to massive, robust 3-D storage Scientists have created the first two-terminal memory chips that use only silicon, one of the most common substances on the planet, in a way that should be easily adaptable to nanoelectronic manufacturing techniques and promises to extend the limits of miniaturization subject to Moore's (...) [Science daily] Prediction of intrinsic magnetism at silicon surfaces could lead to single-spin magnetoelectronics The integration of single-spin magnetoelectronics into standard silicon technology may soon be possible, if experiments confirm a new theoretical prediction made by physicists. [Science daily] Scientists concerned about environmental impact of recycling of e-waste Much of the world's electronic waste is being shipped to China for recycling and the cottage industry that has sprung up there to recover usable materials from computers, cell phones, televisions and other goods may be creating significant health and environmental (...)
