Chinese researchers have developed a new carbon nanotube insulator that can withstand high temperatures up to 2,600°C, outperforming all other materials used for extreme-temperature applications. This ...

Tiny tubes of carbon that emit single photons from just one point along their length have been made in a deterministic manner by RIKEN researchers. Such carbon nanotubes could form the basis of future ...

Carbon nanotubes have emerged as a material of exceptional interest in both fundamental research and applied science, owing to their distinctive optical and electronic characteristics. Their quasi-one ...

NoPo Nanotechnologies is betting on carbon nanotubes, but commercial scale and demand remain a work in progress.

Skoltech researchers have developed an ultrathin carbon nanotube coating that absorbs terahertz radiation on silicon waveguides, offering a practical fix for one of the biggest obstacles facing future ...

Industrial processes often release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere, posing significant risks to human ...

Could tiny threads of carbon fiber do the same job as big metal industrial heating coils? A new breakthrough from researchers at Rice University says yes, and the finding could go a long way toward ...

Researchers have succeeded in constructing the coil of an electric motor using only carbon nanotubes without any metals, and realizing it to the point where it can actually run. (Nanowerk News) ...

Nanotubes can serve as biosensors. They change their fluorescence when they bind to certain molecules. Until now, it was unclear why. Researchers have gained new insights into the cause of the ...

A hairline crack in a composite wing panel or a bridge girder can propagate for months before anyone notices. By the time a ...

As fast-evolving as electronic technology has always been, it makes sense that the semiconductor chips that run these technologies need to evolve alongside them. Those chips — the brains of our ...
