Handel by nanotube
Blog A nanotube is a tiny network of carbon atoms rolled up into tube form - and it may be as flexible and useful as its larger brethren. For example, a group of Californian researchers have built a nearly-complete radio from a single 600nm long...

Nanotube breakthrough paves path for carbon chips
News We first envisioned a patterned growth of carbon nanotubes on silicon wafers five years ago, but it wasn't clear at that time whether that approach would work as an integrated nanotube-silicon hybrid circuit," Hongjie Dai, an associate professor...

IBM hopes to use DNA to build chips
News The nanotube grid, conceivably, could function as a data-storage device or perform calculations. Once the nanotube array has been constructed, the laboratory-generated DNA molecules could be removed, leaving an orderly grid of nanotubes.

Scientists develop flexible paper battery
News The nanotube supercapacitor then recharges at a more modest rate from the actual lithium-ion components of the battery, which can be made thin and easily manufactured as they don't have to directly bear that peak demand themselves.

Carbon nanotubes rise up food chain
News In the "on" state, the nanotube bends downward and then adheres to the substrate through van der Waals forces. The nanotube-based memory is also nonvolatile, which gives it an advantage over conventional computer memory, or DRAM, and is faster than...
