This was despite the coverage highlighting concerns with one specific type of carbon nanotube with a long, rigid structure resembling that of asbestos. This type of nanotube, which is no longer ...

Although many fundamental nanotube patents are approaching their expiry date (for example, US Patent 5424054 “Carbon fibers and method for their production”, which is held by IBM, is due to ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology have identified that the poor mechanical performance of carbon nanotube (CNT ...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) come in a variety of diameters, lengths, and functional group content. CNTs today are available for industrial applications in bulk quantities of metric ton quantities. Several ...

Carbon nanotubes have many desirable properties such as a high strength and low weight compared with volume, energy and fuel storage capability, electron emission capability and many advantageous ...

One of those ideas is carbon nanotubes—the wonder material stronger than steel that also happens to store three times more energy per unit mass than lithium. According to the researchers behind ...
