  Groningen, Netherlands (SPX) Apr 06, 2017 Carbon nanotubes can be used to make very small electronic devices, but they are difficult to handle. University of Groningen scientists, together with colleagues from the University of Wuppertal and IBM Zurich, have developed a method to select semiconducting nanotubes from a solution and make them self-assemble on a circuit of gold electrodes. The results were published in the journal Advanced Materials on 5 April. The results look deceptively simple: a self-assembled transistor with nearly 100 ... read more |
