EVANSTON, Ill., Oct. 16, 2006 -- A novel carbon nanotube-based nanoelectromechanical switch has been demonstrated that could prove useful in making more technologically advanced memory chips and electronic sensing devices. Carbon nanotubes have been under intense study by scientists all over the world for more than a decade and are being thought of as ideal building blocks for nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). A type of one-dimensional structure with high-aspect ratio, carbon nanotubes have emerged as a promising material because of their many impressive mechanical, electrical and chemical properties. The...Read full article

    tunneling
    An observed effect of the ability of certain atomic particles to pass through a barrier that they cannot pass over because of the required energy level, based on a law of quantum mechanics that predicts that the particles have a finite probability for tunneling according to their quantum-mechanical nature.
