For 15 years, scientists have been baffled by the mysterious way water flows through the tiny passages of carbon nanotubes — pipes with walls that can be just one atom thick. The streams have ...

Water flows more easily through narrower carbon nanotubes than larger ones and we have struggled to explain why. Now, one team has an answer: it may all be due to quantum friction. Friction in its ...

How carbon nanotubes might boost solar energy - explained. The appeal of carbon nanotubes lies in their potential to significantly enhance energy storage and renewable energy, a challenge scientists ...

In a paper recently accepted for publication in the Journal of Physical Chemistry A, researchers at the University of Arizona suggest that carbon nanotubes could be created in the envelopes of gas and ...

Researchers at Waseda University in Japan have grown “forests” of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) longer than ever before. Using a new method, the team grew bunches of nanotubes up to 14 cm (5.5 in) long, ...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have garnered attention as a viable solution for hydrogen storage due to their unique structural properties. Recent advancements, including the doping and incorporation of ...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have emerged as a material of considerable interest due to their exceptional mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. Functionalisation with phthalocyanines offers an ...

Researchers have achieved a significant breakthrough in the synthesis of carbon nanotubes, also known as the 'king of nanomaterials.' Researchers have achieved a significant breakthrough in the ...

The properties of carbon-based nanomaterials can be altered and engineered through the deliberate introduction of certain structural 'imperfections'. The challenge, however, is to control the number ...
