Analysis of Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensors with CRAIC Technologies Microspectrometers

Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) effects are the basis behind many biosensors
and microfluidic device detectors currently in use or under development. Simply
put, surface plasmons are electromagnetic waves that propagate along the surface
of an interface between a metal and a dielectric.

Consistency in Silicon Nanowires Ideal for Manufacturing Future Computer and Consumer Electronics

Nanowires might enable engineers to solve a problem threatening to derail the electronics industry. New technologies will be needed for industry to keep pace with Moore's law, an unofficial rule stating that the number of transistors on a computer chip doubles about every 18 months, resulting in rapid progress in computers and telecommunications. Doubling the number of devices that can fit on a computer chip translates into a similar increase in performance.
