Tiny Computers of Carbon? Nanotubes That Conduct Huge Currents
Without Heating Could be Basis for New Electronics
 A report published in
the June 12 issue of the journal Science moves researchers
one step closer to a practical application for electron wave effects
in extremely small-scale circuits. In the paper, a team of scientists
from the Georgia Institute of Technology reports observing ballistic
conductance -- a phenomenon in which electrons pass through a conductor
without heating it -- at room temperature in multi-walled carbon
nanotubes up to five microns long.
