A forest of pure-carbon nanostructures, grown and harvested from a liquid-metal catalytic surface, could find applications ranging from high-performance rubber and resins, to next-generation ...

The legal requirements for 'natural occurrence' stipulate that the SWNT must occur spontaneously in nature: that is, it must self-assemble without any assistance from 'man'. Unquestionably, a SWNT ...

This database lists worldwide suppliers of hundreds of non-carbon and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Please let us know if we missed a supplier or a product. CNTs are allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical ...

Lithium-ion batteries have long reigned as the champions of portable energy, propelling the tech industry forward with their robust energy storage capabilities. However, the quest for alternatives ...

Nanotubes are commonly used in applications like composite materials and carbon fiber, but Roxbury and Nadeem are using them in a novel way at URI—to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy cells.
