Current Idd through the carbon nanotube as a function of right and left gate voltages.

Graphene, a promising transparent conductor
New electronic devices such as touch screens, flexible displays, printable electronics, solid-state lighting and thin film photovoltaics have led to a rapidly growing market for flexible transparent conductors.
Origami tubes
A new approach to nanoelectronics could see researchers using DNA origami to self-assemble circuits from carbon nanotubes and other materials.
Book Review: Nanotechnology and the Environment
This book intends to present a comprehensive overview of recent progress with regard to different aspects of nanomaterials research and development that are closely related to their manufacture process, through to their release to the environment, identifying the critical areas undergoing further research.
Graphene single-electron transistors
Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms forming a perfectly stable and clean two-dimensional crystal with very few defects, has been proclaimed to be a new revolutionary material for electronics. These hopes rest mainly on the unique band structure properties of graphene.
The carbon new age
Graphene has been considered by many as a revolutionary material with electronic and structural properties that surpass conventional semiconductors and metals.

Carbon nanotubes for coherent spintronics

22 March 2010
F. Kuemmeth, H.O.H. Churchill, P.K. Herring, C.M. Marcus

Carbon nanotubes bridge the molecular and crystalline quantum worlds, and their extraordinary electronic, mechanical and optical properties have attracted enormous attention from a broad scientific community.

We review the basic principles of fabricating spin-electronic devices based on individual, electrically-gated carbon nanotubes, and present experimental efforts to understand their electronic and nuclear spin degrees of freedom, which in the future may enable quantum applications.
