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 ...

Carbon nanotubes could revolutionize everything from space travel to medicine. Discovered in 1991, these tiny, incredibly ...

A surprising discovery reveals that carbon nanotubes made from CO2 spontaneously create intense, stable plasma in ordinary ...

We report here the discovery of the smallest possible carbon nanotube. This has a diameter of 4 Å, which is the narrowest attainable that can still remain energetically stable, as predicted by ...

The industry continues to refine manufacturing techniques and explore new applications, carbon-based semiconductors are set ...

In February 2025, global markets are navigating a complex landscape marked by U.S. tariff uncertainties and mixed economic signals, with major indices like the S&P 500 experiencing slight declines ...

It seems like we hear about a new breakthrough in technology every other month and then we never hear about it again. Some of that is over optimistic, misunderstood and exaggerated reporting. But ...

The discovery of carbon nanotubes by Sumio Iijima in 1991 is one of the landmarks in the history of nanotechnology. Nature Nanotechnology spoke to him about the events leading up to the discovery ...

We expected that recycling would be difficult and would lead to significant loss of properties. Surprisingly, we found that carbon nanotube fibers far exceed the recyclability potential of existing ...

Rice University researchers published a study in the journal Carbon, demonstrating that carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers can be recycled without losing their structure or properties, supporting efforts ...

“Nanotubes will outperform silicon as we finish these developments to overcome those final challenges,” Jinkins says, referring to the challenges of sorting, creating uniform films, and conducting ...
