ZettaCore Snapshot
ZettaCore is developing electronic materials on a very, very, very small scale. The company's nanotech material, known as multi-porphyrin nanostructures, is touted as enabling smaller, denser, and cheaper semiconductors that are easier to fabricate than current chips on silicon wafers. Potential uses for the materials include memory chips, electronic interconnects, and solar energy storage. Molecular electronics is a segment of nanotechnology, the science of manipulating atoms and molecules to form new materials. ZettaCore was established in 1999 by scientists from North Carolina State University and the University of California, Riverside. It has offices in Colorado and California.
