Good conduct for carbon nanotubes

摘要

High-quality carbon nanotubes have been grown at significantly lower temperatures than previously achieved, paving the way for their use in electronics. The finding is good news for all commercial applications of carbon nanotubes, which are currently held back by higher costs relative to existing materials. The real advantage, however, lies in the production of microelectronics, where temperature is critical in the manufacturing process, as Dr Vlad Stolojan of Surrey University's Advanced Technology Institute explained.
