Voltage increases up to 25 percent observed in closely packed nanowires at Sandia LabsAlbuquerque NM (SPX) Dec 09, 2011 Unexpected voltage increases of up to 25 percent in two barely separated nanowires have been observed at Sandia National Laboratories. Designers of next-generation devices using nanowires to deliver electric currents - including telephones, handheld computers, batteries and certain solar arrays - may need to make allowances for such surprise boosts. "People have been working on nanowires for 20 years," says Sandia lead researcher Mike Lilly. "At first, you study such wires individually or all toge ... read more |
