New method of growing carbon nanotubes to revolutionise electronics: "Thus far the growth of nanotubes has been carried out at very high temperatures, and growth below 500 C was believed impossible. This made the direct implementation of nanotubes into electronic devices unthinkable. Trying to integrate nanotubes above 400–450 C would in fact damage the inter-metal dielectrics commonly employed in CMOS device fabrication.
