Semiconducting Nanotubes Are ‘Holy Grail’ for Electronic Applications
January 22, 2009 | Source: PhysOrg.com
Duke University chemists have created exclusively semiconducting versions of single-walled carbon nanotubes for use in manufacturing reliable electronic nanocircuits.
In addition to being tiny, these nanotubes offer reduced heat output and operation a higher frequencies, compared to current materials used to make miniaturized electronic components such as transistors.
