Ultrasmall electronic components process information in all smart electronics.
Today, they touch our lives in the form of computers, cell phones, smart TVs, global positioning systems and more.
Ever more powerful microelectronics are essential to progress in scientific research. But microelectronics are at a crossroads, as explained by Argonne’s Valerie Taylor and Yuepeng Zhang.
The total energy devoted to all the microelectronics will soon reach staggering proportions. Without radically new technology, the total energy devoted to all the microelectronics will soon reach staggering proportions.
Argonne is pursuing new pathways to materials and devices that will lead to more energy-efficient and environment-friendly microelectronics for the 21st century.

ABOUT ARGONNE
Argonne National Laboratory seeks solutions to pressing national problems in science and technology. The nation’s first national laboratory, Argonne conducts leading-edge basic and applied scientific research in virtually every scientific discipline. Argonne researchers work closely with researchers from hundreds of companies, universities, and federal, state and municipal agencies to help them solve their specific problems, advance America’s scientific leadership and prepare the nation for a better future. With employees from more than 60 nations, Argonne is managed by UChicago Argonne, LLC for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States and is working to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time. For more information, visit the Office of Science website.
