A new technical review paper titled “Carbon nanotube transistors: Making electronics from molecules” was published by researchers at Duke University, Northwestern University, and Stanford University.
“Between the opportunities in high-performance digital logic with the potential for 3D integration and the possibilities for printed and even recyclable thin-film electronics, CNT transistors warrant a renewed and even redoubled effort from academic, government, and industry contributors,” the authors said in this Northwestern University news article. “These molecular transistor technologies are within reach, but only if the remaining challenges are surmounted by the scientific and engineering communities.”
