Nanotube fibers are a mixture of yarns possessing impressive thermal, chemical, and electrical properties. The yarn holds carbon nanotube fibers, which wrap several electrical charges. These yarn fabrics can also semi-conduct, or super-conduct electrical charges; and, the fibers may be either single or multi-walled nanotubes

Nano-alloy is a broad term used to describe two, or sometimes multiple component nanoparticles, made of atomic species that are metals. A nano-alloy can be what is referred to as a very small “cluster”, containing only a few atoms, or a large nanoparticle with a diameter of a few hundred nanometers.

Quantum teleportation shows remarkable promise as being critical for the production of semiconductors in the future. The problem lies in trying to understand and transmit information via quantum entanglement. It is also important to remember that quantum teleportation (QT) is not the ‘matter transfer’ teleportation seen in television shows like Star Trek. QT is better thought of as a form of communication; not transportation.

Nano-imaging is crucial in the emerging sectors of nanotechnology and nanomaterials. Numerous high-resolution imaging techniques have been developed, enabling industrial applications of materials such as graphene thin-films and carbon nanotubes. The key to many of the techniques for nano-imaging is the mathematical theory and application of discrete tomography.
