...have the ability to direct light, they have potential applications in “optoelectronic” devices, which use light instead of electricity to do computations. Agarwal, working with Professors David G. Grier ’84 at New York University and Hyman Professor of Chemistry Charles M. Lieber at Harvard, among others, found a way to cut, rotate, and fuse hundreds of nanowires in precise patterns. Agarwal’s discovery uses a mechanism called the Holographic Optical Trap, or HOT, invented by Grier’s group in 1997. According to Grier...
...Lieber said that the benefit is that “we can make high performance electronics on anything—we can even spray them on your pants. Moreover, as we continue to scale down, performance will...
Although scientists have been working with nanowires and nanotubes for years, Lieber and Ham were able to make use of recent research into the physics of nanowire performance. Ham noted that this breakthrough was only possible because of the collaboration between chemists and engineers. Lieber developed high-yield nanowires with unique organizational structures while Ham provided circuit design expertise and assembly techniques...
...Lieber speculated that in the future, these developments could lead to high performance electronics with completely integrated displays, which combine pixel elements and driver electronics...
...Essentially, you could spray these things on a pattern and then hook up inputs and have display without needing inputs and drivers,” Lieber said...
