Researchers from five universities are designing a new generation of nano-electronic circuits that will power the computers and mobile phones of the future. The circuits may also make possible entirely new forms of electronic device that could benefit a range of sectors, including entertainment, communications and medicine .This new project will allow circuits to be designed and it will use e-Science and Grid technology – which draws on shared data and massive computing power – to bring together computer simulations of transistors that do not yet exist and simulations of circuits that use them.
