- Delft University of Technology shines light on atomic transistor
11-22-2006 · EurekAlert!
Researchers from TU Delft and FOM Foundation have successfully measured transport through a single atom in a transistor. This research offers new insights into the behaviour of so-called dopant atoms in silicon. The researchers are able to measure and manipulate a single dopant atom in a realistic semi-conducting environment. The individual behaviour of dopant atoms is a stumbling block to the further miniaturisation of electronics. The work is published in Physical Review Letters.

- Scientists offer new view of photosynthesis
05-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
During the remarkable cascade of events of photosynthesis, plants scavenge nearly every photon of available light energy to produce food. In the May 4 issue of Science, an ASU Biodesign Institute team led by Neal Woodbury has published new insights that allow plants or bacteria to harness light energy efficiently even when conditions aren't optimal. The answers may be good news for organic solar cell technology, a low cost alternative to traditional silicon solar cells.
