Electronic components can self-assemble using new technique

Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new technique for creating simple electronic device components that proved effective in recent tests, indicating that self-assembly for more complex electronics, such as 3D computer chips, could be possible.

Scalable 3D chips with high-speed interconnections

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a technique to create a multilayered chip with alternating layers of high-quality semiconducting material grown directly on top of one another.
