Nanotech Circuits Shrink Even More
April 18th, 2009
Assistant Prof. Robert McLeod and 4 other team members from the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU-B) have just discovered a method for shrinking nanotech circuits even further. The CU-Boulder scientists’ nanocircuit production method involves the use of two differently colored lights: an intense, highly focused beam of blue light and a slightly less-focused ultraviolet light that encompasses the blue light in a halo effect. McLeod and company’s use of a secondary, encompassing light is what makes this nanocircuit inscription method revolutionary.
