Nanocomputing by Field-Coupled Nanomagnets
We demonstrate through simulations the feasibility of using magnetically coupled nanometer-scale ferromagnetic dots for digital information processing. Microelectronic circuits provide the input and output of the magnetic nanostructure, but the signal is processed via magnetic dot–dot interactions. Logic functions can be defined by the proper placements of dots. We introduce a SPICE macromodel ...
متن کاملWhither Microbots?
In the past few years there has been a great deal of discussion about the feasibility and desirability of developing microminiature robots which could be deployed en masse to do useful tasks. We attempt to examine some of the important issues involved in such a would-be endeavor, including matters of scale and controllability. Robots require considerable computational resources to be adaptive a...
متن کاملMicrobots deliver the goods
Microbots deliver the goods B y combining two not-so-effi cient DNA delivery systems into one, Demir Akin, Rashid Bashir (Purdue University, Indiana), and colleagues have engineered super effi cient, DNA-delivering “microbots.” Viruses, bacteria, and nanoparticles are used to deliver DNA to cells. But when used in the body, each delivery vehicle has its limitations. Nanoparticles have the advan...
متن کاملEnsembles of millions of microbots
This paper is submitted to Invited Session: New Trends in Modular Robotics. Abstract— Taking the inevitability of micron-scale manufacturing as a starting point, we present claytronics, a modular robotics system designed to scale to millions of cooperating, sub-millimeter scale units. The goal is for the system to act as a coherent mass and thereby mimic, with high-fidelity and in 3dimensional ...
متن کاملNanomodulation of molecular nanomagnets.
Detailed synthetic, structural, and magnetic characterizations for a family of six [Mn(3)Zn(2)](13+) complexes are presented. These complexes have planar [Mn(3)(III)-(mu(3)-oxo)](7+) core magnetic units and have formulas represented by [cation](3)[Mn(3)Zn(2)(R-salox)(3)O(N(3))(6)X(2)], where [cation](+) = [NEt(4)](3)(+) or [AsPh(4)](3)(+); R = H or Me; and X = Cl(-), Br(-), I(-), or N(3)(-). Le...
