Another Step Towards the Nanocomputer...



Scientists have stitched together nanowires to create a microchip capable of basic computation.

The unusual chip "looks like a screen mesh that you have to keep bugs out of your window", says Charles Lieber, a chemist at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, who led the effort. But the nano-circuit can outperform a screen window (and many rival nanotechnologies) at addition and subtraction. The work appears in today's issue of Nature.
