Discovery could advance renewable energy technologies, molecular electronics and quantum computing. Researchers at Rice University have made a meaningful advance in the simulation of molecular electron transfer — a fundamental process underpinning countless physical, chemical and biological processes...

Optically imaging of on-surface and suspended carbon nanotube devices.

Technion researchers have developed a method for growing carbon nanotubes that could lead to the day when molecular electronics replace silicon chip as the building block of electronics.Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have long fascinated scientists because of their unprecedented electrical, optical, thermal and mechanical properties, and chemical sensitivity. But significant challenges remain before CNTs can be implemented on a wide scale, including the need to produce them in specific locations on a smooth substrate, in conditions that will lead to the formation of a circuit around them.

Prof. Yuval Yaish et al have developed a technology that addresses these challenges...
