A NASA First in Nano-Technology: Nanoscale Vacuum Tube for Radiation Immune ElectronicsVacuum provides the fastest electron speed, better than any semiconductor. Nevertheless vacuum tubes were bulky, fragile and consumed much power. Now nanotechnology has enabled fabrication of vacuum tubes at nanoscale in silicon chips. The speed, immunity to radiation and high temperature operation are expected to revolutionize space electronics.
