As low-dimensional materials, graphene 1,2 and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) 3,4 exhibit exceptional properties such as high carrier mobility 5,6,7,8, high electrical and thermal ...

Researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute have demonstrated for the first time the recyclability of high-performance carbon nanotube (CNT) sheets while maintaining their essential mechanical and ...

Carbon nanotube (CNT) yarns are promising for flexible and fabric-type wearable materials that can convert waste heat into thermoelectricity. To improve the thermoelectric properties of CNT yarns, ...

Scientists from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have unveiled the blackest black ever produced at an art exhibition in New York. The material, which is 10 times blacker than anything ever ...

A simple growth process of CNTs, depicted in Figure 1, involves diffusion of carbon atoms from a support surface into the transition metal catalytic surface, followed by extrusion from the catalysis ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Modern nanotechnology researchers not only borrow extensively from nature to develop new materials and fabrication techniques, they also manage to transfer proven, and sometimes ...

Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in 1991, by Sumio Iigima of Nippon Electric Company Laboratories (now NEC Laboratories, Kawasaki, Japan), these nanomaterials have spawned much research ...

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) can be considered as graphene which forms a tube instead of a sheet. CNT is considered to be a one-dimensional material composed of a different set of properties than two ...

Whether it's electric vehicles, drones, or spacecraft, a common technical challenge for future transportation is lightweighting. Reducing the weight of a vehicle not only reduces energy consumption, ...

Building upon the joint development agreement (JDA) signed in February 2024, this new license strengthens the partnership ...
