Carbon nanotube computer
Carbon nanotube computer refers to a computer built entirely using carbon nanotubes based transistors. Researchers from Stanford University said that they had successfully built a carbon nanotube computer and their research paper published on 25 September 2013 in the journal Nature. They named their first carbon nanotube computer Cedric. It has a one-bit processor containing just 178 transistors.
In 2019, a team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology created the 16-bit processor called RV16X-NANO. With 14 000 transistors it is the largest computer chip yet to be made from carbon nanotubes. It was able to execute a "Hello, World!" program with a message: “Hello, world! I am RV16XNano, made from CNTs”.It is based on the RISC-V instruction set and runs standard 32-bit instructions on 16-bit data and addresses.
