Currently, the polymer film system only generates about 5.6 nanowatts, which isn't enough to power most devices, but it could be used to drive these nano - and
microelectronic devices through the use of capacitors to store the generated electricity.
Another potential advantage of these biohybrid cells is that they can be made from cheap and readily available materials, unlike many
microelectronic devices that require rare and expensive materials like platinum or indium.
These features push for substitution of single layer Gr in transparent conductive layers and in the channel between source and drain of
microelectronic devices.
For example, the structures could be used to create small - scale thermal energy harvesters, which could scavenge energy lost in
microelectronic devices.
Such a miscalculation could affect the reliability and performance of chips and other
microelectronic devices.
«Because FPGAs are programmable and they tightly couple software and hardware interfaces, there's concern they may introduce a whole new class of vulnerabilities compared to other
microelectronic devices,» said Lee W. Lerner, a researcher who leads the GTRI team studying FPGA security.
Today's
microelectronic devices pump out a lot of heat.
A growing interest in thermoelectric materials — which convert waste heat to electricity — and pressure to improve heat transfer from increasingly powerful
microelectronic devices have led to improved theoretical and experimental understanding of how heat is transported through nanometer - scale materials.
But bottom - up engineering, say the researchers, could lead to ultrasmall
microelectronic devices made up of just handfuls of molecules.
Currently I am involved in a very interesting project: The study of the network oscillations in the brain using an in - vitro animal model and a new high resolution
microelectronic device.
