Metal wires of carbon complete toolbox for carbon-based computers – Phys.org
Transistors based on carbon rather than silicon could potentially boost computers’ speed and cut their power consumption more than a thousandfold—think of a mobile phone that holds its charge for months—but the set of tools needed to build working carbon circ…
Transistors based on carbon rather than silicon could potentially boost computers’ speed and cut their power consumption more than a thousandfoldthink of a mobile phone that holds its charge for monthsbut the set of tools needed to build working carbon circuits has remained incomplete until now.
A team of chemists and physicists at the University of California, Berkeley, has finally created the last tool in the toolbox, a metallic wire made entirely of carbon, setting the stage for a ramp-up in…
