The use of Accelrys' Materials Studio software has allowed researchers at ST Microelectronics to study how free energy is released when carbon dimers are added during the synthesis of carbon nanotubes ...

The effective dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is critical to their commercial success in applications such as energy ...

Led by Assistant Professor Kou Li, a research group in Chuo University, Japan, has developed chemically enriched ...

The carbon nanotubes either cannot be combined adequately with other materials, or if they can be combined, they then lose their beneficial properties.

A composite material created from carbon nanotubes may provide a lighter, stronger alternative to carbon fiber.

Vantablack is made from carbon nanotubes, which are tiny carbon cylinders with walls as thin as one atom. These structures absorb any light that touches the surface by trapping the photons until ...

Carbon nanotube patterns called moirés created for materials research Date: March 10, 2021 Source: University of Tokyo Summary: Material behaviors depend on many things including not just the ...

In adapting carbon nanotubes for use in armor materials, the authors of this new study took multi-walled versions of them and combined them with Kevlar nanofibers.

MIT engineers have discovered a way to generate electricity using tiny carbon particles that can create an electric current simply by interacting with an organic solvent in which they’re floating. The ...

Researchers demonstrate that carbon nanotube fibers can be fully recycled without any loss in their structure or properties.

The most famous carbon nanotube "blackest black" material comes from UK company Surrey NanoSystems, which unveiled Vantablack in 2014. Surrey has since developed a sprayable version of Vantablack.
