UC Berkeley and Stanford Researchers have created the first working integrated circuit that successfully incorporates carbon nanotubes.
They developed the integrated circuit to speed the analysis of thousands of synthesized carbon nanotubes, sorting them into metallic and semiconducting nanotubes. To do that, they grew carbon nanotubes directly onto “islands” on the circuit platform that contained the necessary catalyst for nanotube synthesis.
By turning certain switches on and off,… read more
