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.

the first nanotube integrated memory circuit was made in 2004. one of the main challenges has been regulating the conductivity of nanotubes. depending on subtle surface features a nanotube may act as a plain conductor or as a semiconductor. a fully automated method has however been developed to remove non-semiconductor tubes.





















































in 2013, researchers demonstrated a turing-complete prototype micrometer-scale computer. carbon nanotube transistors as logic-gate circuits with densities comparable to modern cmos technology has not yet been demonstrated.
