Researchers have found a cheaper, easier way to create a nanoscopic 'forest’ of carbon nanotubes, a tiny material that could pack a big punch when it comes to protecting medical implants in the human ...

Professors from Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Rochester Medical Center have received a patent to deliver biomolecules into cells through carbon nanotube arrays. Targeting ...

Research reveals how reducing dimensionality can trap heat, opening the door to high-efficiency energy devices. (Nanowerk News) Thermal energy conversion technologies, such as thermionic and ...

video: This is the nanotube alignment process (FESA), where carbon nanotube ink is spread on a water surface and self-assembly of aligned carbon nanotube arrays occurs at the ink-water-substrate ...

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 nanotube sponges are randomly arranged, self-supporting, three-dimensional networks of interconnected carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes are nano-sized structures bearing unique mechanical and ...

French company Nawa technologies says it's already in production on a new electrode design that can radically boost the performance of existing and future battery chemistries, delivering up to 3x the ...

Helping the hunt for something to replace silicon transistors, Big Blue researchers have found a way to precisely place carbon nanotubes -- or rather, to encourage them to place themselves. Stephen ...
