Troy, N.Y. ñ By stacking layers of ceramic cloth with interlocking nanotubes in between, a team of researchers has created new composites with significantly improved properties compared to traditional ...

Carbon nanotubes, large cylindrical molecules composed of hybridized carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal structure, recently attracted significant attention among electronics engineers. Due to their ...

A carbon nanotube (CNT) is a molecule made of carbon atoms arranged in a cylindrical nanostructure. A carbon nanotube (CNT) is a molecule made of carbon atoms arranged in a cylindrical nanostructure.

Confined molecules inside carbon nanotubes polarize under gate voltage, creating transistors with three stable logic states from a single material system.

Boron-nitride nanotubes can template the growth of TMD nanotubes both inside and outside the tube. These can be directly observed by transmission electron microscopy (right). Tokyo, Japan – ...
