Carbon nanotube transistors outperform their silicon cousins for the first time

They're not the first transistors created using carbon nanotubes (CNTs), but researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) claim their new carbon nanotube transistors are the first to outperform the best silicon transistors available today. With higher current capabilities and greater switching speeds, these carbon nanotube semiconductors promise to provide next-generation electronics with higher-performance whilst consuming far less power.
