Carbon nanotube springs have potential to compete with batteries5 Oct, 2009 02:46 pm MIT scientists find that carbon nanotubes springs have potential to store as much energy as lithium-ion batteries. They are also more reliable and more...Reinventing optical microscopy with nanotubes31 Oct, 2008 10:53 am Nanotube have a diameter two orders of magnitude smaller and about one order of magnitude longer than the size of the focal spot of the microscope...Challenges in Making Superstrong Materials Based on Carbon Nanotubes28 Jan, 2008 10:07 pm Thinking of carbon nanotube (CNT) composites, one might expect superstrong materials. But a closer look at the steep challenges to improve the mechanical...New Research Explores Making Electrical Contact with Nanotubes14 Aug, 2007 11:26 am With walls that can be just one atom thick, carbon nanotubes promise to enable technology that??s smaller, faster and more energy efficient than seems...Carbon Nanotube Injects Living Cells Without Damage12 Jul, 2007 02:19 pm Cell biologists have been trying to figure out the complicated processes happening inside a living cell. One commonly used approach is to introduce or...Carbon Nanotubes Are Tougher and Supercompressible11 Jul, 2007 12:54 pm We show that under repeated high compressive strains, the long nanotube block shows a viscoelastic behavior similar to that seen in the soft tissue membranes...Hybrid Materials of Carbon Nanotubes and Nanowires24 Jan, 2007 04:36 pm As scientists look for new materials to replace silicon for faster computers, carbon nanotubes and nanowires of various kinds have appeared to be the most...Supercapacitors Start a Revolution in Energy Storage Devices4 Oct, 2006 08:31 am When shopping for power sources to make Palm Pilots, iPods, and other ubiquitous personal electronic devices work, a capacitor is probably the last thing...Who discovered carbon nanotubes? - All you need to know about the discovery of carbon nanotubes.6 Sep, 2006 05:06 pm On reading articles in newspapers and science and technology magazines one gets that impression that Suomo Iijima, a scientist at NEC Japan,...Slippery Nanopipes15 Jun, 2006 10:32 am Imagine the amount of water that comes out of a fire hose attached to a hydrant. If you replace the fire hose with a regular garden hose,...Carbon Nanotubes as Deformation Cells on the Nanoscale12 Jun, 2006 09:24 am Nanocrystalline materials are composed of crystallites with sizes of a few nanometers. It has been observed since decades that such materials are mechanically... |
