Technology/Science Milestones Achieved:

• Developed a crossbar network using quantum-dot cellular automata.  This network will form the foundation of modern digital devices such as a programmable logic array.
• Discovered that a four-cell-wide quantum-dot cellular automata binary wire is immune to the effect of stray charge, while narrower wires can fail based on the presence of a single such stray charge.
