Electrical circuits are constantly being scaled down and extended with specific functions. A new method now allows electrical contact to be established with simple molecules on a conventional silicon ...

(Nanowerk News) A team of Skoltech scientists, in collaboration with researchers from the IBM Watson Research Center, have shed light on the behavior of electrical contacts in carbon semiconductor ...

The sliding electrical contacts found in instrument quality slip rings must reliably conduct signals onto or off of rotating platforms. The signal quality is typically evaluated by measuring the noise ...

The study of interfaces on the nanoscale is having a profound impact on the understanding of how electron charge transport (electrical current flow) occurs between two electrical conductors in contact ...
