Tubes of carbon<\/a> constructed at the nanometer scale have been found to have excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and tensile strength. These carbon nanotubes consist of hexagonally bound carbon atoms that form chicken-wire like cylinders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some are calling carbon nanotubes <\/a>the successor to silicon and speculate that carbon nanotubes may drive another revolution in computers and electronics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In September, researchers from MIT announced the creation of a carbon nanotube microprocessor built with 14,000 nanotubes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Max Shulaker<\/a>, MIT researcher said that<\/a> “this is by far the most advanced chip made from any emerging nanotechnology that is promising for high-performance and energy-efficient computing. There are limits to silicon. If we want to continue to have gains in computing, carbon nanotubes represent one of the most promising ways to overcome those limits. [The research] completely reinvents how we build chips with carbon nanotubes.”<\/p>\n
