Creation of Nanowires for Energy Saving Applications

Color poster with text, images, and graphs.With nearly everything we use in modern society being electronic, energy consumption is a high cost factor. Most electronics draw small amounts of power when plugged in. This is because transistors have on and off states corresponding to smaller electric currents. This smaller current still exists when the device is "off." This study looked at how to reduce this drain to save money and reduce wasted energy.University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire Office of Research and Sponsored Programs
