Intel Experimenting With Nanotubes

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the tuuuubes dept.

illeism writes "C|Net is reporting on Intel's experimentation with nanotubes in processors. From the article: 'The chip giant has managed to create prototype interconnects — microscopic metallic wires inside of chips that link transistors ... Carbon nanotubes ... conduct electricity far better than metals. In fact, nanotubes exhibit what's called ballistic conductivity, which means that electrons are not scattered or impeded by obstacles.'"

    What a stupid comment. If a carbon nanotube conducts electricity then it is by definition a metal.
