Technion scores nanotechnology breakthrough
By JUDY SIEGEL-ITZKOVICH

A nanoscale transistor that self-assembles instead of having to be painst
akingly put together molecule by molecule has been developed with DNA
proteins by scientists from the Technion Israel Institute of Technology in
Haifa.

The researchers, headed by associate Prof. Erez Braun, described their
"breakthrough" in the November 21 issue of the prestigious journal Science
and explained how they had produced the tiny transistors from biological
proteins. Transistors, which can be switched on and off by applying electric
current to it, are the basic building blocks of electronics. [...]32_1Dec200311:43:10ESTdevor@usa.net 104 175 12_Glikman c.v.13_David S.Devor13_devor@usa.net28_Mon, 1 Dec 2003 11:52:24 EST0_32_1Dec200311:52:24ESTdevor@usa.net
