As electronics shrink to nanoscale, will they still be good as gold?

EurekAlert   -   Scientific News Websites

As circuit interconnects shrink to nanoscale, will the pressure caused by thermal expansion when current flows through wires cause gold to behave more like a liquid than a solid -- making nanoelectronics unreliable? Fortunately, research suggests ...
