Graphene Lunar Elevator

Lunar Elevator

Graphene the perfect material for a Lunar Elevator Scientists at Columbia University conducted a study which revealed that graphene retains most of its mechanical properties even when it has been stitched together from small fragments. This discovery may have been the first step toward large scale manufacture of carbon nanotubes, …

Carbon nanotube transistors

Carbon nanotube transistors

The world’s first carbon nanotube computer – Carbon nanotube transistors Manufacturers will soon be able to replace silicon with carbon nanotube transistors in making transistors used in electronic devices. This is because carbon nanotubes address most of the shortcomings that silicon has. Carbon nanotubes are the ideal replacements for silicon …

Carbon nanotubes

Carbon nanotubes Over the last four decades, we have been envisioning the end to the use of silicon as a semiconductor in devices. Perhaps the end is near. Just what will replace silicon? The answer to that is a carbon nanotube.  What are carbon nanotubes? These are tube-shaped carbon-made materials …
