'Tennis-shoe Glue' Sticks Circuits To Chips
News To prove it works, IBM created flash-memory-like chips containing silicon nanocrystals, which give a thin layer inside a transistor that can help memory chips retain an electric charge and prevent data corruption.

Motorola Tech Gets Flashy
News Motorola's new methods, dubbed SONOS (silicon-oxide-nitride-oxide-silicon) and Silicon nanocrystals, use different materials to circumvent the voltage effects. Silicon nanocrystals, another alternative, accomplish the same feat, but by using a...

Nanocrystal Sheds New Light On Future Illumination
News These nanocrystals can theoretically be encased in compounds that conduct electricity — effectively creating electroluminescent suspensions. In the experiment, the blue LED was coated in transparent wood varnish that contained the suspended...

Motorola Crystallises Memory Breakthrough
News One of the main challenges with nanocrystals is maintaining the uniformity," Chang said. Right now, nanocrystals may have a slight edge. Motorola plans to announce on Monday that it has manufactured prototypes of a flash memory chip that relies on...

Flash Memory Begins To Fade
News Motorola's proposed answer lies in silicon nanocrystals. Motorola, meanwhile, is looking at silicon nanocrystals, which replace a solid layer inside the transistor with a lattice of silicon atoms. What's the catch with silicon nanocrystals?
