Artificial synapses made from nanowires

Scientists have produced a memristive element made from nanowires that functions in much the same way as a biological nerve cell. The component is able to both save and process information.

Five nanotechnology research projects that could deliver big results

Berkeley Lab researchers are using the science of the very small to help solve big challenges. Here are five projects, now underway which promise big results from the smallest of building blocks.

Gene-modified soil bacteria promise eco-friendly computing

The US Navy is creating nanowires from one of the most renewable resources on the planet.

DNA Could Be Used As Nanowire

DNA is the fundamental molecule for life on Earth, but it might soon become a key component in the construction of nanoelectronic devices as well.
