He shares the results of his electron-beam lithography experiments in his latest video (embedded below). In e-beam lithography, or EBL, shapes are drawn onto a wafer using an electron beam in a ...

Researchers at the University of California, Riverside, discovered how to control electrical flow through crystalline silicon ...

Single electron memory developed. 17 Jun 2002. A room-temperature single-electron memory has been developed at the University of Minnesota. The single-electron arrangement is orders of magnitude ...

Each dot contains a single electron that is confined by the box. The left-most electron holds the state we want to measure—let’s call it the qubit (a quantum bit).

The process involves spin-coating silicon wafers with SU-8, an epoxy photoresist normally used with UV light but that also turns out to be sensitive to electron beams.

Appelbaum says that silicon-based spintronics could be easily incorporated into present-day integrated circuits. Also, theory says that electron spins survive for a long time in silicon.
