- Photo emissions based – Engineers from the University of California San Diego developed photo emissions-based microelectronics device that relies on free electrons for conductivity than semiconductors
- Test results – Show 1,000% increase in conductivity after activation by low power infrared laser and low DC voltage electricity
- Advantages – Can increase power, wavelength and speed of microelectronics devices than currently possible with semiconductor-based electronics
- Applications – Develop semiconductor-free transistors, switches, photodetectors and solar cells
