Circuits Better with Purer Nanotubes

Mark_Uplanguage writes "PhysicsWeb has an article on improving techniques for the use of carbon nanotubes in electronic circuits. From the article, 'Physicists in the US have developed a new method for making electronic circuits with carbon nanotubes. The technique involves dipping semiconductor chips into a purified solution of nanotubes, rather than the conventional method of growing the nanotubes directly onto the chips. The resulting devices are much better than those produced by other approaches.'"

    The technique involves dipping your chips into a purified solution of ketchup, rather than the conventional method of throwing the ketchup directly onto the chips.

    So, are you a dipper or do you cover them with sauce first? Science have proved that the dippers are using a superior technique...

            Covering your chips in sauce is a very useful way to prevent chip theft when you live with someone who is allergic to tomatoes...

    I disagree.

    What about Packard Bell computers?
    They were made with poor, used, and substandard parts with bad drivers, and yet the computers were still...

    Maybe I agree after all.
    I think that the demise of Packard Bell in North America is totally justified.
