Electronics - Overview
Research and development is continuing to study the optimum use of gold in the electronic sector, including the development of high strength connecting wires and improved wetting solder alloys. Innovations required for information technology in the future will be highly integrated electronic devices, designed and fabricated on the nanometre scale (one billionth of a metre). Gold will be an indispensable element for nanoscale electronic devices because it is resistant to oxidation and mechanically robust at the incredibly small dimensions defined by nanotechnology. The reliability of gold is an essential characteristic
for the increasing use of electronic components in cars. |
![]() The blog that crosses the boundaries between research and the industrial application of gold technology ACS Fall meeting25 Aug, 2010 Inbetween meetings yesterday I managed to attend a few lectures here in (an extremely rainy!) Boston. Vince Rotello of UMass and Richard Lambert of Cambridge delivered the 2010 Langmuir lectures, both of which were excellent. Other interesting talks included Jin Zhang of UC Santa Cruz discussing his group’s work in the field of solar cell [...] |
