“We always hoped that something like this could be built – now we know that it can be built,” says Max Shulaker, professor at MIT and corresponding author on this latest report. Carbon nanotubes have ...

The start of the much-anticipated death of 16-bit processors is upon us. Because of insufficient forecasted demand, March 30, 2007, is the final date that Intel will accept orders for its MCS51, ...

The CPU addresses each general-purpose register as a 16-bit register or two 8-bit registers. The core architecture breaks down into two separate sets: the processor proper and the bus-interface unit, ...

Carbon nanotubes are nearly atomically thin carbon structures — just 1-1.2 nanometers thin. "Pure" carbon nanotubes are a powerful semiconductor, one that can compete with silicon for integration into ...

They demonstrated a 16-bit microprocessor with more than 14,000 CNFETs that performs the same tasks as commercial microprocessors. The Nature paper describes the microprocessor design and includes ...
