Engineers at MIT and Analog Devices have created the first fully programmable 16-bit carbon-nanotube microprocessor. It's the most complex integration of carbon-nanotube-based CMOS logic so far, with nearly 15,000 transistors, and it was done using technologies proven to work in a commercial chip-manufacturing facility. The processor, called RV16X-Nano, is a milestone in the development of beyond-silicon technologies, its inventors say.
