Dense tubes: Speedier integrated circuits can be made from these densely packed arrays of carbon nanotubes. Credit: Nano Letters/ACS Researchers have developed a new way of producing very dense arrays ...

A new method for purifying carbon nanotubes could make them a plausible vehicle for semiconductor advances -- but only if the technique can scale up to commercial manufacturing and compete against ...

Electronic devices built with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) often made headlines in 2001. At that time, researchers were still trying to understand and control basic nanotube properties. But they were also ...

To make stretchable electronics, engineers must start with materials that can tolerate strain. That’s why the ability to endure being stretched is a sought-after quality in flexible electronics, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Wearable electronic systems that are integrated into our clothing, work tools or even skin patches are around the corner. In developing these flexible electronics, one of the ...
