Read moreMelting defects could lead to smaller, more powerful microchips
As microchips shrink, even tiny defects in the lines, dots and other shapes etched on them become major barriers to performance. Princeton engineers have now found a way to literally melt away such defects, using a process that could dramatically improve chip quality without increasing fabrication cost.

Read moreThe Hitchhikers Guide to Nanotechnology - nanotechnology discussion Scotland
Nanotechnology it's uses and challenges for business. As a topic, nanotechnology is complex, controversial and cool all at the same time and this Business Forum session aims to put it all into perspective - not by looking at future 'imagine this' or 'what if' scenarios, but at how and why emerging technologies are being put to use in all kinds of really useful products today.
