Using seamless cylinders of ultrapure carbon, these are accompanied by a slew of other exotic materials researchers, allowing the researchers to further investigate the possibilities of smaller computers since electronics developers happen to be arriving at the theoretical limits of conventional silicon transistors. Of course, this particular invention is still primitive in nature, but it does show the possibility of transistors that are made using such unusual carbon fibers, all fitted into a general purpose computer.
Stanford University electrical engineer Max Shulaker, said, “It really is a computer in every sense of the word. This shows that you can build working, useful circuits out of carbon nanotubes and they can be manufactured reliably.”
