nanotube Last modified: Tuesday, November 25, 2003

A sequence of nanoscale C60 atoms arranged in a long thin cylindrical structure. Nanotubes are extremely strong mechanically and very pure conductors of electric current. Applications of the nanotube in nanotechnology include resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes and transistors. Nanotubes also are called buckytubes.

CSC Scientists Discover Ways to Build Chips From the Atom Up This article from the Computer Sciences Corporation details how they reduced the size of existing chips but by building them up from individual molecules. Nanoelectronics Planet Nanoelectronics Planet provides news and events for the nanotechnology business communities of interest: business development, investment,technology transfer, and government.
