They are extremely light, yet stronger than steel and more resilient than diamond. They are nearly unbeatable as heat and electricity conductors. In some cases, they even become superconductors with no electric resistance: carbon nanotubes are - at a diameter of a few millionths of a millimeter - truly a tiny wonder, and are awakening great hope in all branches of industry from metrology to optoelectronics.
Researchers at Northeastern have demonstrated a way to use single-walled carbon nanotubes, to ease large-scale manufacture of flat-panel displays and electronic memory devices.
Nanomaterials of all types are poised to register robust growth driven by growing interest from healthcare and electronics sectors. Oxides and metals are expected to capture a major share of global NanoMaterial revenues ...
Quantum dots (QD)-nanoscale particles that confine electrons and can emit and absorb light-have been studied in lasers, solar paneling, and biomedical therapeutics. Nina Markovic, affiliated faculty member of the Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology (INBT) and assistant professor of physics in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, believes this emerging technology will prove important in cancer therapies, energy transmission, and drug delivery.
The McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT today announced six awards to develop new technologies for neuroscience research. The projects, whose themes range from brain-machine interfaces to new genetic tools and b...
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-which resemble tiny rolls of chicken wire-are used in electronics, optics and other products because of their unusual strength and electrical conductivity. CNT's are also being used for drug delivery. But an engineer and a chemist affiliated with the Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology have teamed up to study the ways that nanotubes could transport harmful toxins in aquatic environments.
NanoIntegris, an Illinois-based nanomaterials startup company, announced today that it has begun selling samples of its metallic and semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), which the company has labeled I...
A group of researchers led by Adrian Bachtold of the CIN2 laboratory in Spain has developed an ultrasensitive mass sensor, which can measure tiny amounts of mass with atomic precision, and with an unprecedented resolution to date.
Carbon nanotubes have significant potential for delivering both imaging and therapeutic agents to tumors, but there is still a need to better quantify how well these rolled-up sheets of graphite can target tumors. Now, t...
Graphene is the latest nanoscale form of carbon to be discovered and it is currently the hottest topic in condensed matter physics and materials science due to its novel electronic properties. An important feature of graphene, which has not been exploited so far, has been its edges, where interesting electrocatalytic properties and sites for functionalization can develop.
