MIT and ADI have built a 16-bit processor using carbon nanotubes (CNTs). 10 million CNTs were used to form 14,702 CMOS CNT field-effect transistors (CNTFETs), arranged in 3,762 digital logic blocks, ...

“We always hoped that something like this could be built – now we know that it can be built,” says Max Shulaker, professor at MIT and corresponding author on this latest report. Carbon nanotubes have ...

A group of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) claims to have developed the first fully-programmable 16-bit microprocessor made entirely of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The ...

Last week MIT announced a CPU made from carbon nano-tube (CNT) mosfets using standard CMOS fab equipment and only the materials and processes found within commercial CMOS fabs. Electronics Weekly has ...

In a technological tour de force, researchers at Stanford University have constructed a one-bit, one-instruction programmable computer on a chip using carbon nanotube-based electronics for all logic ...

Silicon has powered the information age, but it’s reaching its physical limits. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) hold a lot of promise as a replacement if we can get around some key obstacles—and the designers ...
