Carbon nanotubes outperform copper nanowires as interconnects

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 14:58:58 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

After crunching numbers for months with the help of Rensselaer’s Computational Center for Nanotechnology Innovations, the most powerful university-based supercomputer in the world, the research team concluded that the carbon nanotube bundles boasted a much smaller electrical resistance than the copper nanowires. This lower resistance suggests carbon nanotube bundles would therefore be better suited for interconnect applications.
