Nanotubes get organized to form films

A simple filtration process helped researchers create flexible, wafer-scale films of highly aligned and closely packed carbon nanotubes.

Touchscreens Of The Future: Why A New Transparent Conducting Material Is Needed

Touch screens are incorporated into almost all new technologies, from smart-phones, tablet computers and personal gadgets to flat panel televisions.

Engineers build first sub-10-nm carbon nanotube transistor

(PhysOrg.com) -- Engineers have built the first carbon nanotube (CNT) transistor with a channel length below 10 nm, a size that is considered a requirement for computing technology in the next decade. Not only can the tiny transistor sufficiently control current, it does so significantly better than predicted by theory. It even outperforms the best competing silicon transistors at this scale, demonstrating a superior current density at a very low operating voltage.

Invisibility cloak invented by Texas scientist Ali Aliev's video

Ali Aliev, the researcher have created a working invisibility cloak using one of nature's common yet bizarre phenomena -- the "mirage effect."In a video posted to YouTube, the strands are seen appearing and disappearing during a demonstration in Mr Aliev's lab.

Successful operation of carbon nanotube-based integrated circuits manufactured on plastic substrates

Scientists have developed a simple and fast process to manufacture high-quality carbon nanotube-based thin film transistors (TFT) on a plastic substrate, enabling them to manufacture the world
