Nanowires form atomic switch Researchers in Japan have made a nanoscale mechanical switch that could ultimately replace semiconductor switches in the electronic devices of the future (K Terabe et al. 2005 Nature 433 47). The device could be used for logic as well as fast memory operations and it works at room temperature. "Our device can solve all problems that today's semiconductor devices have," said Tsuyoshi Hasegawa of the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS).
