Review: IBM builds 9 nanometer carbon nanotube transistor, puts silicon on notice

IBM builds 9 nanometer carbon nanotube transistor, puts silicon on notice It’s not the smallest transistor out there, but the boffins at IBM have constructed the tiniest carbon nanotube transistor to date. It’s nine nanometers in size, making it one nanometer smaller than the presumed physical limit of silicon transistors. Plus, it consumes less power and is able to carry more current than present-day technology. The Read complete IBM builds 9 nanometer carbon nanotube transistor, puts silicon on notice >>

Nanotube Transistor Is Only 9 Nanometers Wide

Nanotube Transistor Is Only 9 Nanometers Wide A group of investigators at the IBM Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York, announce the creation of the world’s smallest carbon nanotube transistors, a device that measures only 9 nanometers across. That is the equivalent of 9 [...]

New carbon nanotube aerogel is now the world’s lightest material

Latest report on New carbon nanotube aerogel is now the world’s lightest material: Frozen Smoke (read-aerogels) – not to be confused with the stuff your grandma used to flavor its Turkey – is the world's lightest material, and it gets lighter. Researchers at the University of Florida have a new [...]

Stanford builds super-stretchy skin sensor out of carbon nanotubes (video)

An artificial skin that senses pressure, pinches and touch sounds like a macguffin from The Outer Limits (the episode “Valerie 23″ if we recall correctly), but that’s what a team from Stanford University has cooked up on the back of its pick-up truck. Sensors made of silicon films with a matrix [...]
