The researchers are also looking at a variety of fabrication
processes, from nano-imprint lithography -- a kind of production
process akin to a traditional printing press -- to chemical
self-assembly by growing silicon nanowires between electrodes. The international publishing house is part of

symposium at HP Labs on March 25. One of the papers
in the publication describes a new approach to defect tolerance that
is particularly suited to the crossbar structure. Applied Physics A
publishes regular articles , rapid communications, and invited papers
about new results, focusing on the condensed phase including
nanostructured materials and their applications. Risks, uncertainties and assumptions
include the development, performance and market acceptance of products

The crossbar architecture is potentially easier and less expensive
to manufacture than conventional silicon technology, because it
doesn't require the same level of mechanical precision and is
well-suited to tolerate the inevitable defects that are bound to occur
in the fabrication process at such tiny dimensions.

The program has three components: the Geospace Supporting Research and
Technology program supports theoretical research, development and exercise of
models and simulations, analysis and interpretation of data to identify and
understand the physical processes important to geospace structure and
dynamics; the Geospace Instrument Development Program supports the development
of instrument technologies that show promise for use in scientific
investigations on future geospace science missions; and the Geospace Low Cost
Access to Space program supports research in geospace science that requires
the space -flight of instrumentation.

"We believe we have a practical, comprehensive strategy for moving
computing beyond silicon to the world of molecular-scale electronics,"
said Stan Williams, HP Senior Fellow and director, Quantum Science
Research (QSR), HP Labs.
"Clearly, there's a lot of work to do before nanoscale devices
become reality, and no one organization will ever be able to do it
alone," said Williams. All of us in the scientific
and technical community have much to learn from one another. 31, 2005, HP revenue

Supported studies cover regions that begin with Earth's
neutral upper atmosphere, extend outwards through the ionosphere and beyond
the magnetosphere. At that point, a new type of technology will be
required to continue improving basic computing capability well into
this century."
The HP vision is based on its patented crossbar architecture --
one set of parallel nanowires running approximately perpendicular to
another set, sandwiching a thin layer of an electrically switchable
material. "There's a
great tradition of technology transfer at HP," said Williams.

physics engineering

The vision -- and the challenges -- are captured in nearly two
dozen papers published today in a special nanotechnology edition of
Applied Physics A, the premier European journal of applied physics. "We have a three-pronged approach:
fundamental scientific research into the quantum effects that dominate
the nanometer scale, a new architecture that can tolerate defects in
molecular-sized circuit components and cost-effective methods of
fabrication ."
Williams said that HP Labs has discussed these ideas separately
before, but the special edition of Applied Physics A -- which includes
papers dealing with each of the three areas -- provides an opportunity
for a detailed look at HP's overall approach.
Williams said QSR is also looking at fundamental science
underlying computing at the molecular scale.
"At the nano level, quantum mechanics takes over from classical
physics -- electrons behave more like waves than particles. "We work
only on those things that we believe could ultimately be important to
HP's bottom line in the future.

"
To that end, QSR researchers are examining the properties of
various metals for wires and materials for switches that could be used
in fabrication at the nano level.

"Our special issue presents pioneering achievements by world-class
experts in areas ranging from basic nanoscience and ultraprecise
nanotechnology to breakthrough applications for nanoelectronics, many
of them backed by important new patents," said Stuke. "When you can make a computing appliance so
tiny that it could fit across the width of a hair, you could enable
many , many different things to become 'smart. Every intersection of wires can then form an electrical
switch , which could be programmed to configure the crossbar to perform
various functions, such as store a bit or perform a logic operation. One
paper in the publication describes how silicon nanowires are
especially useful as sensors to detect specific DNA molecules. "That's why we're publishing in the scientific
