How Do You Turn a Smartphone into a Supercomputer? Carbon Nanotubes (+Video)
ScienceBlog [www.scienceblog.com] | July 19, 2016
With support from the National Science Foundation, Stanford’s Subhasish Mitra, associate professor of electrical engineering and of computer science, and H.-S. Philip Wong, professor of electrical engineering, are working with IBM and other collaborators to develop a new generation of computers that have processors based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs).
