Carbon nanotubes RULE

On: Nanotube Transistors

Dig it: - Smallest working transistor -- way WAY smaller than a silicon device could ever be (a human hair is 50,000 X thicker -- we're talking small. - the next step that scientists are already working is REDUCING the size of the gate. Do you know what that means to performance? Can you guess? - the paper in Science also shows that this device has excellent electrical properties - Also - carbon nanotubes are not only good for this, but the carbon-carbon bond creates the strongest material on Earth -- no debate -- there is no stronger thing on Earth. Imagine a car or a building made of this stuff...

Re:Smaller transistors mean faster speed?

On: Nanotube Transistors

You seem to be unable to grasp that what's important here is not that ONE transistor is faster than another, but that in the future with this kind of scale reduction two things are possible -- reduced power consumption and MORE transistors working at the same time in a much much smaller space.

This is way cool. More deep science stuff about nanotubes is at the homepages at http://www.research.ibm.com/nanoscience/nanotubes. html and http://www.research.ibm.com/nanoscience/index1.htm l Can I get these with filters?
