Nanotubes in the clean room
Article Abstract:
Many researchers were trying nanotubes as wires or components in new transistor designs. Arrays of carbon nanotubes called fabrics constitute the 0 and 1 switching elements for an innovative memory chip. Some of the research projects by Thomas Rueckes, which may soon find their way into a new type of electronic memory, are discussed.
