Nanodevice Breaks 1-GHz Barrier

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
PASADENA, Calif., Feb. 13 -- Wristwatch cellular phones and space probes the size of baseballs would certainly have some eager customers, but both are still the stuff of science fiction. Nonetheless, physicists are making strides in the sort of miniaturization that could someday make tiny electromechanical devices a reality. One such milestone, the first nanometer-scale mechanical charge detector, is reported in the current issue of Nature. According to Michael Roukes, professor of physics at Caltech and coinventor of the device, the new electrometer is among the most sensitive charge...Read full article
