From Nanodevices to Nanosystems: The Carbon Nanotube Case Study Emerging nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), have great potential to revolutionize future electronic systems. For instance, carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) are projected to improve the energy efficiency of digital systems by an order of magnitude compared to silicon CMOS. Unfortunately, CNTs face major obstacles such as substantial imperfections ...
