Carbon nanotubes are the leading candidate to replace silicon, having already been shown to carry more current per unit of width. It has so far been difficult to say what happens when they are made shorter, because the switching action in a nanotube transistor depend...DuPont-led scientists unveil key nanotechnology discovery with use of DNA
