Researchers used sonicated carbon nanotubes to enable a reaction pathway that can pinpoint specific contaminants and break them down to help save our water. (Nanowerk News) Water is one of the most ...

McGill University researchers have developed a new method for producing carbon nanotubes that has great commercial promise. The work of Professor Jean-Luc Meunier and doctoral student David Harbec, ...

A forest of pure-carbon nanostructures, grown and harvested from a liquid-metal catalytic surface, could find applications ranging from high-performance rubber and resins, to next-generation batteries ...

Carbon nanotube sponges are randomly arranged, self-supporting, three-dimensional networks of interconnected carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes are nano-sized structures bearing unique mechanical and ...

Researchers at Northrop Grumman and the University of Illinois have built a transistor radio with key components made from carbon nanotubes. The radio was built to demonstrate new techniques for ...
