Nanotechnology may lead to more energy-efficient electronics

Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - 10:01 in Physics & Chemistry

Carbon nanotubes and graphene consist of just a couple of layers of carbon atoms, but they are lighter than aluminium, stronger than steel and can bend like spring-coils. Physicist Niklas Lindahl at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, has been studying the unique properties of the materials, which in future may result in improved electronics and light, strong material.
