For first time, carbon nanotube transistors outperform silicon
Posted by Klaus Baldauf in categories: bioengineering, computing, nanotechnology, particle physics
But a number of challenges have impeded the development of high-performance transistors made of carbon nanotubes, tiny cylinders made of carbon just one atom thick. Consequently, their performance has lagged far behind semiconductors such as silicon and gallium arsenide used in computer chips and personal electronics.
