An exotic new approach could shrink kilometer-scale machines into table-top devices.

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-based structures, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have much higher electrical conductivity than copper, as does graphene. The main issue is that making wires out of them is not exactly ...

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

Well, we watch-less ones have something to look forward to, because a group of graduate students at Rice University have created extremely strong conductive thread woven from carbon nanotubes ...

Single-walled carbon nanotubes can be used to detect single DNA molecules as they pass through the nanotubes under the influence of an applied electric field. The use of nanoporous systems to ...

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

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 ...

Micro-X selected by ARPA-H to develop world-first mobile CT for regional US healthcare under $16.m PARADIGM contract.

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 ...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) come in a variety of diameters, lengths, and functional group content. CNTs today are available for industrial applications in bulk quantities of metric ton quantities. Several ...
