Nanotube
Nanotubes are small cylinders of atoms that can be used for various purposes because of their electrical or mechanical properties. At the nanometer level, different properties and forces work than with macro or real measurements. These differences are manifested in the form of high electrical conductivity, high mechanical strength and other properties. Electronics is mainly focused on carbon nanotubes. They can be as small as 10 atoms in diameter. Different nanotubes can have insulating, conductive or semiconducting properties. Carbon nanotubes with semiconducting properties promise small transistors with high switching speeds. Carbon nanotubes with metallic (conductive) properties promise low electrical resistance applicable to interconnections in integrated circuits. Other nanotube materials under evaluation include silicon and compound semiconductor materials.
