Stanford University researchers have developed a method of separating out purely semiconducting nanotubes with a consistent range of diameters stretching across the source and drain. The method is scalable to a bulk manufacturing process....

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute reports two new techniques, each following a different approach, for placing carbon nanotube patterns on metal surfaces of just about any shape and size....

A method for sorting nanotubes by electronic properties could help make widespread nanotube-based electronics a reality. The new process separates metallic and semiconducting nanotubes. It also segregates them by diameter (another important parame...

MIT researchers have identified a class of chemical molecules that preserve the metallic properties of carbon nanotubes and their near-perfect ability to conduct electricity with little resistance. Using these molecules as handles could overcome ...
