New technique to optimize computer speed

Friday, June 20, 2008 - 07:56 in Physics & Chemistry

Who doesn`t dream of increasingly fast computers that consume less and less energy? To design these computers of the future, it is important to be able to control nanoscale strain in the processors. Until now, this strain remained difficult to observe. Now, thanks to a new electron holography technique invented by researchers at the Centre d`élaboration de matériaux et d`études structurales (CEMES-CNRS), it is possible to map deformation in a crystal lattice with a precision and resolution never previously attained.
