First Ever Nanotube Transistors On A Circuit

Posted by timothy on from the waiting-for-productization dept.

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."

    And Dubya said (in a future state of union address):

    "Today, the gravest danger in the war on terror, the gravest danger facing America and the world, is outlaw regimes that seek and possess nucular, chemical, biological weapons and nanotubes that can hold thousands of liters of botulinum toxin; enough to subject millions of people to death by respiratory failure.

    These regimes could use such weapons for blackmail, terror and mass murder. They could also give or sell those weapons to terrorist allies, who would use them without the least hesitation.

    This threat is new; America's duty is familiar. .....

    Magnified view of carbon nanotube grown on silicon MOS circuitry.

    You should see the stuff that's been growing on MY circuitry. I've got enough prior art stacked up here to .... Oh, never mind.
