It is a known fact that water at sea level starts boiling at a temperature of 100 °C or 212 °F. Scientists have long observed that the freezing and boiling points of water change slightly when it is confined to very small spaces - usually dropping by about 10 °C.
OCSiAl, the world leader in single-wall carbon nanotubes manufacturing and BÜFA Composite Systems, the leading European manufacturer of composite materials have agreed a partnership that will see BÜFA expand the production and marketing of OCSiAl's TUBALL™ nanotubes-based concentrates and resin formulations.
Researchers from the University of St Andrews (Scotland) and the Heidelberg University worked toward developing nanomaterials for optoelectronics, and have been successful in demonstrating, for the first time, a strong interaction exists between light and matter in semiconducting carbon nanotubes.
Wearable electronics embedded in clothing are the latest growing trend, however power sources are still an issue. The development of lithium ion batteries that are thin, flexible, and possess self-healing properties has been reported by researchers in the journal Angewandte Chemie. These batteries can grow back together even after falling apart completely, without any major effect on their electrochemical properties.
Molecular-sized machines could be used to manipulate significant bodily mechanisms in the future. In a recent study, scientists from Umeå University and the University of California, Berkeley have electrostatically controlled a nanoballoon consisting of a carbon molecule 10,000 times thinner than a strand of human hair, to switch between collapsed and inflated state.
OCSiAl and its core product TUBALL™ single wall carbon nanotubes have opened a new substance in the EU's Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation with the successf...
LANXESS and OCSiAl have officially entered into a collaboration that will result in production and marketing of an expanded line of TUBALL™ single wall carbon nanotube-based conductive additives for applications in...
Researchers from MIPT and teams in Russia and a few other European nations are the first to realize and record the phenomenon of water molecular dipoles alignment. The researchers achieved this by confining water molecules in nanocages inside a beryl crystal.
Nanotubes can be used for many things: electrical circuits, batteries, innovative fabrics and more. Scientists have noted, however, that nanotubes, whose structures appear similar, can actually exhibit different properties, with important consequences in their applications.
Researchers at Rice University are creating nanodiamonds and other forms of carbon by crushing nanotubes against a target at great speeds. Nanodiamonds won't make anyone rich, however the method of producing them will enhance the knowledge of scientists who design structures that resist damage caused by high-speed impacts.
