Bell Labs Develops 'Nanograss'

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
MURRAY HILL, N.J., March 16 -- Scientists at Bell Labs, the research and development arm of Lucent Technologies, have discovered a new method to control the behavior of tiny liquid droplets by applying electrical charges to specially engineered silicon surfaces that resemble blades of grass. The new technique of manipulating fluids has many potential applications, including thermal cooling of integrated circuits for powerful computers, novel photonic components for optical communications and small, low-cost "lab-on-a-chip" sensor modules. David Bishop, vice president of nanotechnology at...Read full article

    nanotechnology
    The use of atoms, molecules and molecular-scale structures to enhance existing technology and develop new materials and devices. The goal of this technology is to manipulate atomic and molecular particles to create devices that are thousands of times smaller and faster than those of the current microtechnologies.
