(May 22, 2015) Physicists
have developed an innovative method that could enable the efficient use of
nanocomponents in electronic circuits. To achieve this, they have developed a
layout in which a nanocomponent is connected to two electrical conductors,
which uncouple the electrical signal in a highly efficient manner. The
scientists at the Department of Physics and the Swiss Nanoscience Institute at
the University of Basel have published their results in the scientific journal
“Nature Communications” together with their colleagues from ETH Zurich.
