caused by the difference in electron movement as currents move next to and past the hairlike boron nitride nanotubes.
In addition, the graphene and boron nitride nanotubes have the same atomic arrangement pattern, or lattice matching. With their aligned atoms, the graphene-nanotube digital switches could avoid the issues of electron scattering."
Boron nitride nanotubes are no slackers in the materials realm either, and can be engineered for physical and biological applications.
or stopping themhile boron nitride nanotubes are so insulating that electrons are rebuffed like an overeager dog hitting the patio door.
