Unique Carbon Nanotube Structure Strengthens Thin Films for Use in Flexible Electronics

A team of researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have synthesized thin carbon nanotube (CNT) textiles that display both high electrical conductivity and a level of toughness that is approximately fifty times higher than copper films, presently employed in electronics. They drew inspiration from the structure of composites found in the ancient world and nature.

Research Throws Light on Altered Behavior of Water Inside Carbon Nanotubes

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.

Researchers Develop Self-Healing Lithium Batteries For Wearable Electronics

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.

Scientists Control Nanoballoons using Static Electricity

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.
