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 ...

The miniature forest consists of super-growth, single-walled carbon nanotubes that are roughly a million times longer than they are wide. A single-walled carbon nanotube can be conceptualized as a ...

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

Rice University researchers have published a study in the journal Carbon demonstrating that carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers can be fully recycled without ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

In a significant step toward creating a sustainable and circular economy, Rice University researchers have published a landmark study in the journal Carbon demonstrating that carbon nanotube (CNT ...
