“Nanofabrication” is the process of making functional structures with arbitrary patterns
having minimum dimensions currently defined (more-or-less arbitrarily) to be e100 nm …

This article reviews several classes of inorganic semiconductor materials that can be used to
form high‐performance thin‐film transistors (TFTs) for large area, flexible electronics …

Self-assembly is the autonomous organization of components into patterns or structures
without human intervention. Self-assembling processes are common throughout nature and …

Self-assembly is a process in which components, either separate or linked, spontaneously
form ordered aggregates. Self-assembly can occur with components having sizes from the …

The vast reduction in size and power consumption of CMOS circuitry has led to a large
research effort based around the vision of wireless sensor networks. The proposed networks …

The vast reduction in size and power consumption of CMOS circuitry has led to a large
