Researchers Integrate Carbon Nanotubes into Nanostructured Waveguide to Develop Compact Miniaturized Switching Element

Worldwide growing data volumes make conventional electronic processing reach its limits. Future information technology is therefore expected to use light as a medium for quick data transmission also within computer chips. Researchers under the direction of KIT have now demonstrated that carbon nanotubes are suited for use as on-chip light source for tomorrow’s information technology, when nanostructured waveguides are applied to obtain the desired light properties. The scientists now present their results in Nature Photonics. DOI: 10.1038/NPHOTON. 2016.70

New Research Paves Way for Scalable Assembly of Nanotubes from Bottom Up

A team of researchers, led by chemist Paul Cherukuri from Rice University, have stumbled upon a Tesla coil’s robust force field, which causes the self-assembly of carbon nanotubes into long wires. This unique phenomenon has been dubbed as “Teslaphoresis.” The research findings have been reported by in the ACS Nano journal. Cherukuri suggests that this research would be the foundation toward scalable assembly of nanotubes from scratch.
