Carbon nanotubes are amazing because they're really good electrical conductors, yet they are only a few atoms in diameter. You can make transistors out of them in the same way you can with silicon. At Berkeley, we made the narrowest… — Paul McEuen Copy Share Image
I remember being fascinated by ants and wasps and other bugs when I was a kid. I'd set out a Coke can and stand back 20 feet and use my telescope to watch wasps land on it. — Paul McEuen Copy Share Image
It's amazing that something only an atom thick can be an impenetrable barrier. You can have gas on one side and vacuum or liquid… — Paul McEuen Copy Share Image

Nanotechnology is the idea that we can create devices and machines all the way down to the nanometer scale, which is a billionth of… — Paul McEuen Copy Share Image
The lessons learned as we try to build ever more sophisticated nanomachines will almost certainly inform our understanding of the origins of life. — Paul McEuen Copy Share Image
As an undergrad, I studied engineering physics at the University of Oklahoma, and all my degrees are from engineering departments. My father wanted me… — Paul McEuen Copy Share Image
