A Cedar Rapids company that specializes in manufacturing rugged computers has added a new twist in their latest computer - a carbon fiber chassis. Crystal Group's tiny REO412 computer is believed to ...

Helping the hunt for something to replace silicon transistors, Big Blue researchers have found a way to precisely place carbon nanotubes -- or rather, to encourage them to place themselves. Stephen ...

Stanford scientist Max Shulaker knows that when it comes to carbon nanotubes (CNTs), expectations are high. That's why when he and his team made the first computer entirely from carbon nanotubes, he ...

When entering the clean room at Bloomington, Minnesota–based SkyWater Technology Foundry, everyone, reporters included, must don gloves, a hair bonnet, a hood, a safety suit, and booties. The final ...

Since computers were invented, we had to speak in their language—silicon. Over the years, coding languages have made writing programs faster. • Turing mechanical computer. • Punch cards. • Procedure ...

Researchers at Stanford University have built the first working computer out of carbon nanotube transistors, a technology widely bruited as a replacement for silicon in microprocessors. But the ...

Transistors based on carbon rather than silicon could potentially boost computers' speed and cut their power consumption more than a thousandfold -- think of a mobile phone that holds its charge for ...

Carbon-based computers have the potential to be a lot faster and much more energy efficient than silicon-based computers, but 2D graphene and carbon nanotubes have proved challenging to turn into the ...
