As the semiconductor industry inches towards integrated circuit technology based on silicon chips with features just 200 nm wide, researchers are trying to build carbon-based electronic devices that are hundreds of times smaller. These devices would be based on the remarkable electronic properties of carbon nanotubes and the junctions between dissimilar nanotubes.
