Carbon nanotubes are moving from lab curiosities to workhorse components in quantum hardware, and one of the most striking examples is their use as single-photon light sources. By exploiting their ...

Carbon nanotubes, nano-size cylinders made of carbon atoms, are attracting renewed interest for their role in the future of cars. Industry reports project that the global market for these ...

Water flows more easily through narrower carbon nanotubes than larger ones and we have struggled to explain why. Now, one team has an answer: it may all be due to quantum friction. Friction in its ...
