Nanoarchitectonics in High-Tech Applications

In giugno 30, 2023 in All, General, Medical, Power di Liam Critchley

Nanoarchitectonics is a technological process combining material fabrication and atomic manipulation methods to create functional and active nanoscale features in materials so that the intended device can be much better tailored to an application than fabrication methods alone.

Why Nanowires Could Be a Big Thing for Electronics

In dicembre 12, 2022 in All, General, Medical, Power di Liam Critchley

Nanowires are 1D nanomaterials with efficient electron transport properties where the electrons flow along the long axis of the wire. The electronic conductivity properties, which are realized through quantum effects, could be useful for a range of innovative electronics.

Understanding How Quantum Technologies Can Work

In giugno 18, 2020 in All, Computing, Memory, Security, Wireless di Liam Critchley

Quantum technologies are starting to be developed, and if realized to their full potential, will be able to outperform classical computing technologies in many ways. Here, we look at the theory behind how basic quantum technologies are starting to work and how certain functions will work in the future.

Why Nanotechnology Improves Sensors

In ottobre 16, 2019 in All, Automation, IoT, Sensors di Liam Critchley

There is always a need to increase the capabilities of sensors. One effective way to do this is by employing nanomaterials as the ‘sensing surface’ or ‘sensing component’. Learn how the many beneficial surface, electronic, and structural properties of nanomaterials can make sensors more accurate.

The Underlying Chemistry of Piezo Materials

In febbraio 6, 2019 in All, Energy Harvesting, Power, Sensors di Liam Critchley

The electrical properties of both piezoelectric and piezoresistive materials change when subjected to mechanical deformation. Here, we show how and why these electrical changes are due to changes within the crystal structure at the atomic level and the chemistry involved with these changes.

Understanding the Chemistry of Semiconductor Junctions

In settembre 21, 2018 in All, Energy Harvesting, Industrial, Power di Liam Critchley

Chemistry plays a major part in why semiconductor materials behave the way they do, and why current can flow through a p-n semiconducting junction. Here, we discuss what effect chemistry has on these junctions, including some of the mechanistic variations that exist in electronics today.
