The article reports on the development of a unique vertical integration process that is working toward the demonstration of three-dimensional complementary metal-oxide semiconductor-compatible optical networks by the researchers at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. The researchers coupled the polysilicon racetrack resonators to single-crystal silicon waveguides. Vertical integration is achieved by patterning waveguides in a silicon-on-insulator substrate.

The article focuses on the results of a study on the validity of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle which limits the precision of simultaneous position and velocity measurements of a particle at ever-smaller scales, using resonator circuit conducted by researchers at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. The resonator consists of aluminum equivalent to 10,000 billion of atoms. The application of certain voltages reduces the device temperature through a mechanism similar to optical or Doppler cooling.

The article reports that researchers of the Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, have used a unique construction technique to make micro-scale string resonators. The string is made starting from a silicon wafer and the nitride is etched and patterned, then the oxide is removed to free the string. The strings have been made mainly for physics experiments, but will be tried as sensors also.
