Organic transistors get small Researchers from Cornell University have shown that it is possible to fabricate useful organic thin film transistors that have a channel length as small as 30 nanometers. The smaller the channel, the faster the transistor. Previously, organic TFT channel lengths were limited to about 100 nm. |

Electricity shapes nano plastic Plastic is a popular material for electronics these days because it's light and flexible. But today's chipmaking processes tend toward hard crystals, not soft polymers. A method that yields microscopic plastic structures could help, and it's based on a readily-available resource -- electricity. |
