DuPont-led Scientists Unveil Key Nanotechnology Technique.

Advanced Materials & Composites News, December, 2003

December 2 - A collaborative group of DuPont Company-led scientists has discovered an innovative way to advance electronics applications through the use of DNA that sorts carbon nanotubes. This research in the emerging field of nanotechnology appears in the current issue of the journal Science, which is published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

The research paper is titled "Structure-Based Carbon Nanotube Sorting by Sequence-Dependent DNA Assembly." Carbon nanotubes possess excellent electrical properties that make them potential building blocks in a broad range of nanotechnology-related electronic applications, including highly sensitive medical diagnostic devices and mini-transistors more than 100 times tinier than those found...
