Molecule-wide Carbon-60 nanowires prove great conductors of electricity
In the future, very small devices will require very small amounts of electricity. Yet, how can future nanoscopic circuits at such levels be created? Scientists have found at least one answer: Carbon-60 nanowires.
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have discovered an assembly technique which provides a way to construct one-dimensional nanowires. With no height or width outside of the fullerene (soccer ball-like) molecular size, and of only sub-micon length, these wire products could form the building blocks of extremely tiny man-made machines in the future, those on the order of 1000s of atoms or molecules in total size.
