The huge breakthrough may forever change how microprocessors are produced.
The problem with using carbon was its impurities.
However, the University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers used polymers to pick the semiconducting nanotubes.
By doing so, they achieved a solution of ultra-high-purity semiconductor carbon nanotubes.
Arnold says the teams achievement has long been a dream of nanotechnology for the last two decades.
However, the bigger question is whether semiconductor makers will embrace the new tech.
They have patented the new technology through the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation.
