In this dark solution, IBM makes use of carbon nanutubes -- very small structures made of a lattice of carbon atoms rolled into a cylindrical shape. A team of eight researchers have figured out a way to precisely place them on a computer chip, IBM announced today. The new technique helps improve the nanotubes' chances in the hunt for alternatives once silicon transistor technology, the beating heart of today's, runs out of steam.
