Abstract

An apparatus includes a first array of transistor elements; a second array of carbon nano-elements formed above or below the first array of transistor elements; and a circuit coupled to the first array to access the carbon nano elements.

Claims (26)

1. A nano device, comprising:

a. a first array of transistor elements;

b. a second array of carbon nano-elements formed above or below the first array of transistor elements;

c. a circuit coupled to the first array to access carbon nano elements with redundant carbon nano elements to replace defective elements, wherein the carbon nano memory elements self-organize to select functional elements and deselect defective elements through a learning machine, wherein the nano memory elements comprise a neural network; and

a wash durable strand of clothing containing the elements.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the carbon nano elements are applied using a spin-coating technique.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the redundant carbon nano elements are tested and each faulty element is deselected prior to operation.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the neural network detects defective elements using genetic algorithm.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein data is stored in one of: a red-ox state, a physical deformation of the nano memory element, a charge stored across the nano memory element.

6. The device of claim 1 , comprising a nano-electro-mechanical system (NEMS).

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the element comprises a nanowire positioned above an electrode that, when actuated, performs one of: deforming the nanowire, flattening the nanowire, attaches the wire to the electrode, repels the wire away from the electrode.

8. The device of claim 1 , comprising nano-wires forming a two-dimensional (2D) nano-scale crossbar.

9. The device of claim 1 , comprising light harvesting nanowires to capture solar energy or antenna nanowires to capture electromagnetic energy.

10. The device of claim 1 , comprising an energy storage device coupled to the light harvesting nanowires.

11. The device of claim 1 , comprising light emitting nanowires.

12. The device of claim 1 , comprising an energy storage device coupled to the light emitting nanowires.

13. An apparatus, comprising:

a. a plurality of wash durable clothing strands; and

b. an array of nano electronic elements fabricated in the strands with redundant carbon nano elements to replace defective elements, wherein the carbon nano memory elements self-organize to select functional elements and deselect defective elements through a learning machine, wherein the nano memory elements comprise a neural network.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the nano electronic elements comprises one of:

light emitting nanowires, light harvesting nanowires, an energy storage device, an antenna.

15. The apparatus of claim 13 , comprising a processor coupled to the elements.

16. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the nano-electronic elements form an optical interconnect in the clothing strands.

17. A nano device, comprising:

a wash durable material including a substrate having strands with void spaces in the strands and between the strands; and

nano-particles filling at least a part of the void spaces and forming one or more projections on the substrate, wherein the projections resist dirt from attaching to the wash durable material with redundant carbon nano elements to replace defective elements, wherein the carbon nano memory elements self-organize to select functional elements and deselect defective elements through a learning machine, wherein the nano memory elements comprise a neural network.
