Due to the discharge of industrial wastewater and the misuse of agricultural fertilizers, the negative consequences of excess nitrate in water on human productivity and lives have drawn more attention.
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are innovative nanomaterials with potential applications across several fields. However, we do not fully know the risk they pose to humans, and studies have shown that multiwalled CNTs trigger an immune response in mice.
Owing to the global trend of utilizing electric vehicles, there has been a surge in demand for next-generation secondary batteries with higher capacity and faster charging than the lithium-ion batteries currently in use.
Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWCNTs) are being utilized to create a third generation of optimized shortwave infrared photodetectors, which will enhance pixel size, weight, power consumption, performance, and cost over previous photodetectors.
To analyze particles in motion, experimentalists have been following a 100-year-old theory that asserts that the microscopic movement of a particle is identified by random collisions with molecules of the adjoining medium, irrespective of the macroscopic forces that influence that motion.
New research discusses a liquid crystalline wet-spinning process as a means of producing polymer-carbon nanotube composite fibers that are highly oriented and possess superior modulus, strength, and electrical conductivity.
Scientists at the Tokyo University of Science in Japan have devised a low-cost technique for creating multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) on a plastic film.
In a warming world, coal can often seem the "bad guy." But we can do other things with coal besides burn it. A team at Ohio University used the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center's Bridges-2 system to carry out a series of simulations showing how coal might eventually be converted to valuable - and carbon-neutral - materials like graphite and carbon nanotubes.
Researchers at RIKEN have successfully smuggled genetic material into the plant cells that produce energy, which makes it possible to induce plants to produce compounds that are beneficial for the industry.
A study published in Nano Research presented a straightforward method for porous carbon preparation, utilizing small organic molecules as precursors.
