A new study details how researchers successfully built and operated a motor using coils woven from pure carbon nanotubes instead of the heavy copper that has been the standard for a century. But can ...

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) ... The Oldest Heavy Metal Icons Still Alive Today. Germany Ends Japan’s 34-Year Run as World’s Top Creditor Nation. How to hard boil eggs without using water.

A way to cloak carbon nanotubes, making them both non-toxic and highly customisable, has been revealed. It marks a step towards using nanotubes in biological research and medicine.

Carbon nanotubes are storage units measuring about 50,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. Carbon reduced to the nanoscale defies the rules of physics and operates in a world of quantum ...

The next generation of computer and television screens could be built using carbon nanotubes. Next week a prototype high-definition 10-centimetre flat screen made using this technology will be ...

Insights into the catalyst structure-function relationship of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) can provide an outlook to their growth mechanisms. In a new report now published in Science ...

Cheap, small carbon nanotubes Date: May 23, 2018 Source: Vanderbilt University Summary: Carbon nanotubes are supermaterials that can be stronger than steel and more conductive than copper, but ...

And the carbon gets deposited on an iron catalyst on the cathode—under these conditions, it forms carbon nanotubes. The Li 2 O, meanwhile, reacts with carbon dioxide in the air and re-forms the ...

Carbon nanotubes twice as strong as once thought Date: September 16, 2010 Source: American Chemical Society Summary: Carbon nanotubes -- those tiny particles poised to revolutionize electronics ...

MIT engineers have created a material that is 10 times blacker than anything else ever been reported, the school announced. The material is made from vertically aligned carbon nanotubes, or CNTs ...

Membranes made with carbon nanotubes could reduce the amount of energy needed to capture carbon-dioxide emissions from smokestacks, and therefore cut costs, according to a company that will ...

Maynard expects to see carbon nanotubes used in a wide range of applications, from lightweight structural materials to water-purification systems for the developing world.
