Best Quote – “The hybrid device is only one-fifth the thickness of a sheet of paper; its footprint can vary from a few square micrometers up to the centimeter scale. The centimeter-scale devices would have capacitances in the range of 400 to 1,000 millifarads—easily enough to power an LED flashlight for an hour.”
IBM Research Breakthrough Paves Way for Post-Silicon Future with Carbon Nanotube Electronics
Smaller, faster, more efficient and more Moore
Chinese scientists’ new ‘super-strong foam’ could form lightweight tank and troop armour
Applications galore and a great development. I’m sure in some alternate universe they are already paving roads with this stuff.
