In a world first, a team of University of Wisconsin-Madison materials engineers have created carbon nanotube transistors that outperform state-of-the-art silicon transistors.
A big milestone for nanotechnology, this breakthrough could enable longer battery life, faster wireless communication and faster processing speeds for devices like smartphones and laptops.
The researchers reported their advance in a paper published Sept. 2, 2016, in the journal Science Advances. Read the open access paper here: http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/2/9/e1601240
