Perovskite-filled carbon nanotube transistors pave the way for ultra-low power electronics

The miniaturization of electronic components has been a driving force behind computing advancements for over half a century. However, as silicon-based transistors approach their physical limits, researchers are exploring alternative materials to continue progress in semiconductor technology. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have long been considered promising candidates for next-generation electronics due to their exceptional electrical properties and nanoscale dimensions. Yet, the challenge of precisely controlling the electronic characteristics of CNTs has hindered their widespread adoption in practical applications.
