    Solitons may be the next wave in electronic circuits

    Harvard scientists have solved the puzzle of how to generate a special form of wave in small electronic devices, allowing the electrical equivalent of the pulses of light that carry signals through optical cables. The advance, highlighted in the March 2 issue of the journal Nature, occurred in the Harvard lab of Donhee Ham, assistant…

    Scientists create high-speed nanowire circuits

    Chemists and engineers at Harvard University have made robust circuits from minuscule nanowires that align themselves on a chip of glass during low-temperature fabrication, creating rudimentary electronic devices that offer solid performance without high-temperature production or high-priced silicon. The researchers, led by chemist Charles M. Lieber and engineer Donhee Ham, produced circuits at low temperature…
