"Diodes made previously with other approaches always had poor yield and performance.

"This is a fundamental change in the way you could produce electronic products, at high speed on a huge scale at very low cost, even less than with conventional methods," Keszler said. "It's a basic way to eliminate the current speed limitations of electrons that have to move through materials."

The OSU diodes were made at relatively low temperatures with techniques that would lend themselves to manufacture of devices on a variety of substrates over large areas.

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.

I don't get the jump from Amorphous Metal Electrodes to diodes. (can't see the full pub)

I'd like to see more detail on this.

Wait  a minute... the lab-on-chip and sensor implications could be significant!
