Exploring advanced nanoelectronics

Scientists are researching the smallest tools for advanced electronics. University of Arizona Materials Science professor Zafer Mutlu works with objects too small to be seen with the naked eye or even standardized microscopes. He describes how nano technology can make electronics stronger under extreme conditions.

Zafer Mutlu spoke with Erika Hamden, professor of astrophysics at the University of Arizona.
