Danish breakthrough brings futuristic electronics a step nearer by Staff Writers Copenhagen, Denmark (SPX) Aug 18, 2015 When researchers dream about electronics of the future, they more or less dream of pouring liquids into a beaker, stirring them together and decanting a computer out onto the table. This field of research is known as self-assembling molecular electronics. But, getting chemical substances to self-assemble into electronic components is just as complicated as it sounds. Now, a group of researchers has published their breakthrough within the field. The group consists of first-year nanoscience students from the University of Copenhagen. http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/D...futuristic_electronics_a_step_nearer_999.html extract: This is a clear step forward towards self-assembling electronics. By mixing solutions of the right substances, we automatically built structures that in principle could have been solar cells or transistors. What is more, is that they were built in the same way that nature builds such things as cell membranes," says Sorensen.
