Flexible Future of Point-of-Care Disease Diagnostic
Dresden, Germany | Posted on July 29th, 2015
Within the Silicon Nanowire Research Path (SiNW) of TU Dresden’s Cluster of Excellence ‘Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden’ (cfaed), the scientists realized a light weight and mechanically flexible diagnostic platform based on cost-effective highly sensitive Si nanowire field effect transistors fabricated on flexible polymeric foils, which are only 100 µm thick.

Speed Record for Light-Emitting Quantum Dots Hints at Faster Computing
Duke University researchers engineered the quantum dots—tiny spheres of semiconducting metal about six nanometers in diameter—as part of a “spontaneous emission” light source that can be modulated at speeds of 90 GHz. That’s much faster than the fastest laser diodes which switch on and off at speeds of 25 to 50 GHz. Such a breakthrough could pave the way for new optoelectronic devices that use light to transmit data between traditional electronic microchips.
