Data deduplication is one of the most importantand fastest growing storage optimizationtechniques.
The fastest nanotube in the westOr the east, for that matter
Stateside boffins have managed to make a highspeed, carbon nanotube transistor. This is the latest in astring of devices that can be made with nanotubes, and according to the researchers, is the next steptowards replacing silicon in a variety of electronic applications.
The device, built by Peter Burke and his team at the University of California at Irvine, is made from acarbon nanotube squeezed between two gold electrodes.
According to a report on NanoTechWeb the transistor works at microwave frequencies, the highest everacheived with a nanotube transistor, but Burke reckons that is the slow end of the spectrum.
Burke said: "I estimate that the theoretical speed limit for these transistors should be around a terahertz(10 Hz), about 1000 times faster than modern computer speeds."
At the moment, it only works at 4 Kelvin, but the team is confident they can make it work at roomtemperature too. ®
