"in Applied Physics Letters, Meyyappan and colleagues estimate that their nano vacuum tube operates at frequencies up to 0.46 terahertz—some 10 times faster than the best silicon transistors"
Interesting...

how much did they spend on that study?
they could have just asked a harmonica player
of coarse we would have to substitute an au7
for that crappy sounding nano tube

0.46 terahertz? That's great but most of us can't hear above 8kHz anyway.

Forgot the link... it's about using nano tubes in computers.

The tubes are not for musical purposes.
Here's the paper:

Hmm, since the tubes might be used in space, I'll use it as an excuse to post this. This was sent into space on Voyager to represent human loneliness.

@nacoran,
I didn't know (or simply forgot) about this! I'm glad some sort of Blues was among the many genres and cultural music included. I am also skeptical of the claim the song was used (on the Voyager records) to represent a specific human emotion.
