First Ever Nanotube Transistors On A Circuit
btsdev writes "Researchers at the University of California at Berkeley and Stanford University have developed the first ever integrated silicon circuit with nanotube technology. According to the article on UC Berkeley's site, this brings researchers one step closer to developing memory chips with carbon nanotubes - chips that could hold approximately 10,000 times more data than those we have today."
I guess this means the Ferengi do not have to abduct Seven of Nine after all.

Let's see.
1. I'd like to see a bewolf cluster of these.
2. How long until it runs linux?
3.
I think that covers it all. You may proceed.
Feel free to contribute.

stuck under your fingernails!!
One step closer!
We can rebuild him. We have the technology.
So do these things have good tensile strength if you pack them in bundles? Because when they rebuild me, I want them to use nanotubes. They're definitely the "in" thing right now. Just imagine...legs that can literally "remember."

I always wanted a Marshall tube stack I could carry in my pocket!!!!!
Not that I can see why anyone would ever need more than 640 TB anyways. Except people still using MS Windows and MS Office, of course. Sheesh!
Ooops, wrong timeline. 'Scuse me while I duck back, er... forwards, to 2014 again.
And remember kids: Never trust a computer you can actually lift.
"What the hell's this... some kinda nanotube?!"
The neutrality of this sig is disputed.
Finally a good use for all this stupid carbon! Get out of the atmosphere and into my computer!
Slashdot user? yes? That's good. Then there's little chance of any body cavity being, as you put it, "bumped."

You could make a supercomputer the size of your current computer tower
But... but.. Steve Jobs said my current computer tower is a supercomputer!
Trolling is a art,
I have been hearing about that thing about this new m$ os that will be fast and you will be able to open more apps, now i see how!!, just take windoze, an old version obviously, XP would be still to heavy, say, NT 3.51, and run it in a machine with about 50 Gb of ddr, and if you add it proper fast scsi disks so it can swap out all the time, and there you go!, you just got unix like performance on a windowish os!!!, ups, well we still has to get ride of that bsod, we'r working on it guys :)
WTF am I doing replying to an AC at 5 A.M on a Friday night?
You don't own an Athlon.

I'll pass on the Kray Suppository, thank you.

1: Vastly more memory at much cheaper prices.
-or-
2: Such draconian DRM/DMCA/**AA lawsuits/Product Activation woes/SCO lawsuits/stupid Congressional actions and the like such that there is nothing left to put in said memory.

does the 150,000 Gig iPod come out?
Just in time! They are going to need some serious capacity to store HQ images of fingerprints belonging to millions of the world's terrorists.
Just thought I'd point out that CNT makes a horrible acronym. No wonder materials engineers can't get dates, going on about all the really tight CNTs they're growing in the lab...
A low-voltage 12AX7 stuffed into a digital stomp box (with a window and an LED that makes it "glow") does not give you "real vintage tube-amp sound", no matter what the "pros" at Guitar Center might tell you!
Next up, the Babbage Analytical Engine on a single chip. No need to carry those bulky logarithm tables around anymore, just a really teeny oil can...

Ain't my father's old typewriter uses carbon? What's so exciting about it?
