Group 1 Use of carbon nanotube (CNT) transist

Use of carbon nanotube (CNT) transistors to replace silicon in future microchips. • How CNTs overcome scaling limits of silicon • Manufacturing challenges in lithography • Real-world examples (e.g., IBM’s CNT chips) Student Task: Evaluate performance differences between CNT and silicon transistors.

Group 2 — Quantum Dots in Display Technolog

Topic: Nanocrystal-based QLED and OLED displays. • Color purity enhancement • Energy efficiency • Toxicity concerns (cadmium-based QDs) Student Task: Compare QLED vs OLED and assess sustainability issues.

Group 3 — Nanowires for High-Speed Electron

Topic: Silver and silicon nanowires in flexible and transparent electronics. • Use in flexible smartphones, touchscreens • Conductivity vs flexibility trade-offs Student Task: Analyze failure mechanisms of nanowire networks under bending.

Group 4 — Graphene Supercapacitors for Ener

Topic: Graphene-based electrodes with ultra-high surface area. • Rapid charging • Long cycle life • Fabrication limitations Student Task: Design a conceptual model of a graphene supercapacitor for electric vehicles.
