Chip manufacturers are facing the problem of power and heat in devices embedding their chips. Companies are facing the problem of thermal management as they continue to churn out smaller devices. Now nanotechnology comes into the picture and carbon...

Carbon nanotubes were discovered in early 90's and since then have been deployed in a number of applications and have become an important part of nanotechnology. One of the problems which is being faced is that their production on industrial scale is...

A professor at the Bourns College of Engineering is planning to create building blocks for memory devices with the aid of telescoping carbon nanotubes as high speed, low power microswitches. This will enable the use of three stage switches to become...

The flow of water can be controlled through carbon nanotubes membranes and that too with a superb level of precision. This could lead to discovery of a technology which will be able to convert salt water into pure drinking water in a quick manner or...

Carbon nanotubes since their discovery have been put to a variety of uses and have become an important part in the world of nanotechnology. Since it is costly to manufacture nanoparticles on a massive scale therefore Fritz Haber Institute researchers..

A new welding technology is being developed in Switzerland that can work on the scale of a billionth of a meter and can be used to assemble electronic components at the smallest possible scale. One of such techniques is called 'Nanorobotic' spot...

In the future, semiconducting carbon nanotubes might rule the area of electronics. It would be a challenging task to make them gel with manufacturing process of today. Realizing this, Stanford University researchers have made an important...

Using a commercial inkjet printer, researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have found out a method of printing patterns of carbon nanotubes on paper and plastic. The process involved filling off the shelf ink cartridges with a water based liquid..
