日本东北大学金属材料研究所的一个科研小组最近通过超级计算机研究发现,硅原子像碳原子一样也能够形成足球状的富勒结构。科学家认为这为制造超大规模集成电路等开辟了一条新途径。据该所川添良幸教授提供的资料说,根据量子力学原理,使用超级计算机进行模拟计算,他们成功地确定了性质极其稳 A research group at Japan’s Tohoku Institute of Metal Materials recently found through supercomputer research that silicon atoms, like carbon atoms, can also form football-like fullerenes. Scientists think this opens up a new avenue for making VLSIs. According to the information provided by Professor Tomokazu Ryuhei, according to the quantum mechanics theory, supercomputers are used for simulation and they have successfully determined the nature of extremely stable
