葡萄牙科学家发现了纸张的新用途:制造晶体管。传统晶体管是以硅片为连接媒质的,现在研究者大胆地使用纤维素(纸张的主要成分)来替代硅片,并取得了阶段性成功:不但增强了晶体管的灵活性,而且大大降低了晶体管的制造成本。电脑中的“硅芯片”将来是否也能为“纸芯片”所取代,人们拭目以待。 Portuguese scientists have discovered a new use of paper: the manufacture of transistors. Traditional transistors use silicon wafers as the connecting medium. Now researchers have boldly used cellulose, the main component of paper, as a replacement for silicon wafers. They have achieved phase success: not only enhance the flexibility of transistors, but also greatly reduce the number of transistors. The manufacturing cost. Whether the “silicon chip” in the computer can be replaced by a “paper chip” in the future is still waiting to be seen.
