With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology ...

The team says they are planting billions of these minuscule “seeds” – or nanoparticles – on a tiny plot. These seeds are essential for growing what are called carbon nanotubes, which are way smaller, ...

If you've paid attention to news about carbon nanotubes (CNTs) you've heard this before. "CNTs are the greatest thing since . . .", "CNTs are about to revolutionize . . ." When CNTs first burst ...

Experiments show that carbon nanotubes transfer heat inefficiently at small scales, raising concerns for cooling and ...

What makes carbon nanotubes special are their remarkable properties. These tiny cylinders are stronger than steel, and yet so thin that 50,000 of them would equal the thickness of a human hair.

Carbon nanotubes used to develop clothing that can double as batteries Date: July 10, 2018 Source: University of Cincinnati Summary: Engineers are creating clothing that can charge your cell phone.

Insights into the catalyst structure-function relationship of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) can provide an outlook to their growth mechanisms. In a new report now published in Science ...

Industrial nanotube reactors today generate several tons of low-quality carbon nanotubes per year, and the worldwide market for nanotubes is expected to top $2 billion annually within the next decade.

Nanotubes got Huntsman interested in Nanocomp, but the demand for low-carbon H 2 is prompting the firm to invest big bucks to scale up the process.

Engineers at EPFL have inserted carbon nanotubes into photosynthetic bacteria, greatly improving their electrical output. They even pass these nanotubes down to their offspring when they divide ...

Carbon Nanotubes: Many Uses, Many Risks “What we highlight is that CNTs that are similar in shape and size to asbestos (i.e. long, thin and biopersistent) either need to be omitted from manufacture or ...
