Nano Technology Today

hitachi nano some of the worlds's smallest µ-Chips like the 0.15 x 0.15 mm, 7.5µm thick RFID IC chip contactless IC chips which uses an external antenna to receive radio waves (2.45 GHz microwaves), and transforms it to energy to wirelessly transmit a 128 bit (1038) unique ID number. As the data is written during the fabrication process using ROM (Read-Only-Memory), it is impossible to rewrite the data and thus provides a high level of authenticity.

Complex fluids

The physical properties of several complex fluids can be modified by applying a current or voltage, as is the case with liquid crystals.

Quantum wells

Quantum wells can hold one or more electrons. Those electrons behave like an artificial atom, which like real atoms can form covalent bonds. Because of their larger sizes, other properties are widely differen
