TLDR
In this article, the authors highlight the reports by Ouyang et al. and Collins et al., which advance our understanding of the nanotube conduction process substantially and help us move toward applying this knowledge in nanoelectronics applications.Abstract:
Nanotubes can be semiconducting or metallic depending on their diameter and chirality This feature is very interesting for many applications In her Perspective, [Dresselhaus][1] highlights the reports by [ Ouyang et al ][2] and [ Collins et al ][3], which advance our understanding of the nanotube conduction process substantially and help us move toward applying this knowledge in nanoelectronics

Science as a Map in Technological Search
Lee Fleming,Olav Sorenson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that without the understanding provided by scientific research, inventors face a "complexity catastrophe" that limits the usefulness of their efforts when they attempt to combine multiple interdependent components.

Science as a map in technological search
Lee Fleming,Olav Sorenson +1 more
TL;DR: The authors argue that science alters inventors' search processes, by leading them more directly to useful combinations, eliminating fruitless paths of research, and motivating them to continue even in the face of negative feedback.
