Revolutionary Electronics through Carbon Nanotube Nano-Electro- Mechanical Switches

Supporting/Contributing Agencies: National Reconnaissance Office
The need for a very high speed, radiation hardened, and low power logic technology exists to
support national security space and terrestrial systems. However, as we scale down in feature
size to achieve higher levels of performance, issues with power, radiation sensitivity, and
reliability arise that make the use of conventional < src="file:///C:/Users/ENG%7E1.KAR/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt="">
