Oregon researchers rush toward new tech frontier

Abstract:
Oregon scientists may have made an important early development in Oregon's quest to become a national player in the embryonic but burgeoning field of nanotechnology. For years, computer chip industry researchers have faced a vexing problem. As chips shrank to fit ever-smaller computerized products, the layers of the silicon sandwich - now thin enough to be measured in individual atoms - often were polluted by a silicon-based stubble.
