Nanotechnology
Quantum tunnelling
Physics; Nanotechnology
When electrons pass through a barrier, without overcoming it or breaking it down. See this illustration.
Quantum well
Physics; Nanotechnology
A P-N-P junction in which the "N" layer is ~10 nm (where traditional physics leaves off and quantum effects take over) and an "electron trap" is created. "If one makes a heterostructure with ...
Superlattice nanowire pattern (transfer)
Physics; Nanotechnology
A technique for producing "Ultra High Density Nanowire Lattices and Circuits". See Researchers Discover How to Make the Smallest, Most Perfect, Densest Nanowire Lattices-And It's a SNAP
Superlattices
Physics; Nanotechnology
Artificial metallic superlattices are multilayered thin films, prepared by alternately depositing two elements using vacuum deposition or sputtering techniques. A wide spectrum of elements and ...
Superposition
Physics; Nanotechnology
A quantum mechanical phenomena in which an object exists in more than one state simultaneously.
Synthespian
Physics; Nanotechnology
An artificial actor, for example a 3D model animated by motion capture from a real actor or a computer program.
Technocyte
Physics; Nanotechnology
A nanoscale artificial device (especially a nanite) in the human bloodstream used for repairs, cancer protection, as an artificial immune system or for other uses.
