(Belle Dume, nanotechweb.org) Researchers at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands have developed a new technology for making ultraclean carbon nanotube devices. The new technique overcomes the disadvantages of previous nanofabrication methods that systematically yield contaminated tubes. The devices produced may be used in quantum computing applications as well as to study fundamental physics, such as the coherent properties of single-electron spins.
