'Instead, Tulevski and his team have figured out a way to “coax” the nanotubes into specific structures using chemistry.'

Carbon Nanotubes are Getting Closer to Making Our Electronic Devices Obsolete

Kevin Murnane

Forbes, 2016

'The team from IBM built a CNT transistor that showed no increase in electrical resistance with contact lengths from 300 nm to less than 10 nm.'

Search for Eureka: IBM's Path Back to Greatness, and How it Could Change the World

Mike Murphy

Quartz, 2015

'What Tulevski’s team is trying to do is create thousands—and eventually billions—of carbon nanotubes that function exactly the same way.'

Twist and Shouts: A Nanotube Story

Matt Davenport

Chemical and Engineering News, 2015

'There are no guarantees that nanotube transistors can displace silicon technology or that they’ll even need to. Tulevski knows all of this, but he says there’s a lot to learn in the process of trying to build nanotube processors.'

Could Carbon Nanotubes Replace Silicon in Computers?

Kristin Majcher

MIT Technology Review, 2015

'George Tulevski, a member of IBM’s carbon nanotube team, recently reviewed the challenges in ACS Nano.'

IBM Scientists Find New Way to Shrink Transistors

John Markoff

The New York Times, 2015

'On Thursday, however, IBM scientists reported that they now believe they see a path around the wall. Writing in the journal Science, a team at the company’s Thomas J. Watson Research Center said it has found a new way to make transistors from parallel rows of carbon nanotubes.'

IBM Reports Nanotube Chip Breakthrough

John Markoff

The New York Times, 2012

'They used a process they described as “chemical self-assembly” to create patterned arrays in which nanotubes stick in some areas of the surface while leaving other areas untouched.'

Olefin Metathesis On Metal Surfaces

Mitch Jacoby

Chemical and Engineering News, 2005

'In the other study, Columbia University chemistry professor Colin Nuckolls, grad student George S. Tulevski, research scientist Michael L. Steigerwald, and their coworkers demonstrate that derivatized ruthenium surfaces can be used to catalyze olefin metathesis reactions.'
