The calculator is made entirely of micro carbon nanotubes

Scientists have successfully created the first prototype computer made entirely of micro carbon nanotubes, opening up a new future for the digital device industry.

Cedric is the most complex carbon electronics ever made and is also the basic prototype that can grow into a smaller, faster computer and have more advanced features than any other computer. transistors made from silicon.

And now, Stanford University scientists have succeeded in developing that, making breakthroughs in such areas as: nanotechnology, electronics, optics, and Other materials science.

This machine runs on a simple operating system, enabling the execution and exchange of two functions: basic calculation and number classification. It can solve all the calculation problems with 100% accuracy.

However, the transistors in the computer need to be smaller than the current thickness of 8 micrometers (1 micrometer = 1/1 million meters). This is a big challenge for scientists. However, at present it is not a barrier to technology, the problem here is just time.

For the past 40 years, scientists have predicted, this is the last time the silicon era. And now it is in the minds of scientists.

Carbon nanotube is the carbon form of carbon. A carbon nanotube is a series of carbon atoms connected in the form of tubes, which are ten thousand times thinner than hairs, a few nanometers in diameter. Long ago, carbon nanotubes became the preferred candidate for silicon replacement. However, developing a nanotube into a prototype computer is extremely difficult.
