12. How did your team end up making this invention of using carbon nanotubes in silicon chips? (1:00 minutes)
Dr. Meyya Meyyappan: "I just want to say that actually in research you always set out doing one thing, and even though you have your eye on the ball and your goal all the time, there are a lot of pleasant surprises on the way. And this is a classic example of that, and we set our goal on using carbon nanotubes for a computer chip item which may be useful in five or 10 years for NASA and for a commercial market. But along the way, surprisingly, we found out that the carbon nanotube can be used as an interconnect, you know, to keep the silicon technology humming for as long as it can. So, this is a pleasant surprise, and, you know, that’s the nature of research. And this is what makes it exciting. And so, we are very pleased at NASA Ames that , you know, we can make this contribution to the society and ahh, particularly the computer industry which is the backbone our economy."
