University of Surrey experts part of research team awarded £430k grant for pioneering nanotechnology research

Tuesday 14 July 2009

A team of researchers from the University of Surrey and two other institutions have been awarded a grant of around £430,000 to develop ultra-small-scale silicon structures for 'spintronic' semiconductors. 

Jointly awarded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and the National Science Foundation of China, the work could eventually lead to cheaper and more sophisticated processing technologies for use in computer technology.
