The semiconductor sector has grown for over 40 years by using Moore’s law. As the size of transistors reduces to one-tenth of the nanometer scale, the quantum effects begin to dominate and lead to issues like heat generation and operation stability.
A study conducted by scientists at Rice University in collaboration with scientists at the Energy Safety Research Institute (ESRI) at Swansea University has shown that single-walled carbon nanotubes can be grown extensively on old newspapers, which is a cheap, environmentally-friendly material.
