Novel Technique to Tweak the Properties of Carbon Nanotubes

Researchers from the Skoltech Center for Photonics and Quantum Materials (CPQM) have formulated a novel technique to fine-tune the optoelectrical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) by applying an aerosolized dopant solution onto their surface, and as a result, paving the way for new SWCNT applications in optoelectronics.

Antennas Made of Flexible Nanotube Films Could be Feasible Competitor for Copper in Wireless Applications

Scientists at Rice University’s Brown School of Engineering state that antennas made of carbon nanotube films can be just as efficient as copper for wireless applications. They are also more flexible, tougher, and can basically be painted onto devices.

Rice Scientists Present Their Protocol for Carbon Nanotube Handling

With some practice, it would take just about 10 minutes, few bags, and a big bucket to maintain nanomaterials in their place. Chemist Andrew Barron from the Rice University lab works with bulk carbon nanotubes on a number of projects. Some years back, members of the lab became anxious that nanotubes could escape into the air, and formulated an economical and clean technique to ensure they stay contained as they were shifted from large containers into jars for experimental use.
