Carbon nanotubes are the leading candidate to replace silicon in semiconductor chips after the decades-long run of silicon electronics runs out. And IBM is hoping to usher along that transition with a ...

IBM has demonstrated a nine nanometer (9nm) carbon nanotube transistor (CNT) -- the smallest CNT ever made, and significantly smaller than any commercial silicon transistor. At 9nm, IBM's transistor ...

Semiconducting CNTs possess several advantages over traditional silicon, including higher carrier mobility and better electrostatic control at nanoscale dimensions. These properties make them ...

(Nanowerk News) Demand for sensitive and selective electronic biosensors -- analytical devices that monitor a target of interest in real time -- is growing for a wide range of applications. They are ...

Carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs) represent a transformative advancement in nanoscale electronics, exploiting the unique electrical and mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes.

Researchers at Stanford University have demonstrated the first functional computer built using only carbon nanotube transistors, according to an article published Wednesday on the cover of scientific ...

At IBM's Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York, some of the world's best physicists, chemists, and nanoengineers are trying to create the first high-density, self-assembling carbon ...

A new technical review paper titled “Carbon nanotube transistors: Making electronics from molecules” was published by researchers at Duke University, Northwestern University, and Stanford University. ...
