Sulphur guides carbon nanotube assembly on gold electrodes - Materials Today
Carbon nanotubes can be used to make very small electronic devices, but they are difficult to handle. Scientists at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, together with colleagues from the University of Wuppertal in Germany and IBM Zurich in Switzerland, have now developed a method to select semiconducting nanotubes from a solution and make them self-assemble on a circuit of gold electrodes. They report this work in a paper in Advanced Materials.
