Single Molecule Quantum-Effect Electronic Devices

Lyshevski S.E., Rochester Institute of Technology, US

This paper examines multi-terminal quantum-effect devices. These devices are envisioned to be utilized in emerging molecular gates (Mgates) and neuronal hypercells for expected molecular integrated circuits. In addition to molecular-centered processing and memories, MEdevices are [...]

Biomolecular, Organic and Inorganic Processing Fabrics: Design and Synthesis of Processing Cells and Primitives

Lyshevski S.E., Rochester Institute of Technology, US

This paper focuses on solving various processing, networking, aggregation and interfacing problems by synthesizing, designing and utilizing molecular fabrics. The molecular processing platforms are comprised from modules, units and devices. For example, a brain neuron [...]

A Five Input Majority Gate in Quantum-Dot Cellular Automatta

Akeela R., Wagh M.D., Lehigh University, US

We present a five input majority gate (MAJ5) designed in the quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) technology. Unlike previous designs, our design is planer, uses integral cell placement and allows inputs and outputs from the peripheral [...]

Hybrid CMOS/nanodevice circuits with tightly integrated memory and logic functionality

Strukov D.B., University of California at Santa Barbara, US

We propose dynamic CMOL FPGA circuits which have potentials to perform massively parallel high throughput computations and in particular suitable for pattern matching tasks. The main difference of the proposed circuits from previously suggested hybrid [...]

Analysis of Graphene, Molecular Wires and Inorganic Materials for Nanoelectronics and Low Power Integrated Circuits

Lyshevski S.E., Rochester Institute of Technology, US

This paper studies some emerging and prospective materials and possible solutions for envisioned nanoscaled microelectronic devices. To assess and evaluate the performance of envisioned scaled microelectronic devices, one applies quantum mechanics and other advanced methods. [...]

Electron Transition Between Weakly Coupled Concentric Quantum Rings

Filikhin I., Matinyan S.G., Nimmo J., Vlahovic B., North Carolina Central University, US

We investigate the electron wavefunction localization in double concnetric quantum rings when a magentic field is applied.

Near-field infrared nanoscopy of phonon resonant silica and silica-coated goldnoparticles

Abate Y., California State University Long Beach, US

Single silica capped and uncapped gold nanoparticles are imaged using apertureless near-field optical microscopy (ANSOM) in the visible (λ=632 nm) and infrared frequencies (λ=10.7 µm). Identification of capped and uncapped particles with nanoscale spatial resolution [...]

Improve Environmental and Economic Performance with Streamlined Life Cycle Assessment (SLCA)

Shatkin J.A., Larsen W., CLF Ventures, Inc., US

Many new technologies offer significant improvements in environmental performance over existing approaches. Typically, there is some uncertainty about the health or environmental impacts, positive or negative, of new technologies, which can adversely affect their introduction [...]

Generation of clean energy by applying parametric resonance to quantum nonlocality clocking

Berkovich S.Y., The George Washington University, US

A novel principle for generation of clean and abundant energy is presented [1]. The required ability to move matter comes from a new source: clocking mechanism of: Universe’s nonlocality. The phenomenon of nonlocality – instantaneous [...]

Dynamic Model Refinement for Buoyant Energy Storage Technology

Thornbrue T.B., Ghorbani R., University of Hawaii at Manoa, US

As the use of renewable electricity grows, energy storage is becoming a better solution to grid destabilization challenges associated with resource intermittency. With cost being a key barrier to widespread adoption, buoyant energy storage technology [...]
