Biological connections for microelectronics
The miniaturization of electronic components is now reaching a physical limit. If the solution of the three-dimensional assembly would save on the overall dimensions, making electrical connections in these new devices remains a technological challenge. Biologists and physicists from CEA-Grenoble, CNRS, Université Joseph Fourier and INRA have developed a system of self-assembled connections, thanks to actin filaments [1] for these microelectronic 3D structures. Once rendered conductive, the actin filaments are used to connect together the various system components. These results are published in the journal Nature Materials on 10 February.
