Research Bits: Apr. 7


DNA scaffolds for 3D electronics Researchers from Columbia University, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and University of Minnesota used DNA to help create self-assembled 3D electronic devices with nanometer-size features. The team deposited arrays of gold squares on a surface, onto which they could attach short pieces of DNA. These served as anchors to which they could fasten eight-sided di... » read more

Flat-surface-assisted and self-regulated oxidation resistance of Cu(111)


Abstract "Oxidation can deteriorate the properties of copper that are critical for its use, particularly in the semiconductor industry and electro-optics applications. This has prompted numerous studies exploring copper oxidation and possible passivation strategies. In situ observations have, for example, shown that oxidation involves stepped surfaces: Cu2O growth occurs on flat surfaces as a ... » read more
