    Carbon NANOTUBES -- tiny tubes about 10,000 times thinner than a human hair -- have the potential for use as minuscule wires or in ultrasmall electronic devices. IBM researchers using an atomic force microscope have recently devised a means of changing a nanotube's position, shape and orientation.

    CARBON NANOTUBES

    INTRODUCTION

    Carbon Nanotubes -- tiny tubes about 10,000 times thinner than a

    human hair -- consist of rolled up sheets of carbon hexagons.

    HISTORY

    • Discovered in 1991 by researchers at NEC, they have the

    potential for use as minuscule wires or in ultrasmall electronic

    devices.

    • To build those devices, scientists must be able to manipulate the

    Nanotubes in a controlled way.

    DEVELOPMENT

    • IBM researchers using an atomic force microscope (AFM), an

    instrument whose tip can apply accurately measured forces to

    atoms and molecules, have recently devised a means of

    changing a nanotube's position, shape and orientation, as well as

    cutting it.
