An Alternative to CMOS?
Computer chips are a $270+ billion/year business — might nanowafers someday compete? Viterbi School scientists have demonstrated a process for manufacturing of carbon nanotube devices that can perform all the functions of silicon chips, potentially at a competive price.

Nanotubes to Go
In 2005, Chongwu Zhou's lab described a new way to "grow" orderly arrays of carbon nanotubes on sapphire. A 2006 publication describes a way to roll these arrays up off the sapphire into neat parcels of working transistors ready to insert into large-scale integrated electronic systems.
