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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Since their discovery in the 1990s, carbon nanotubes have ensnared the imagination of chemists. Among them are researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory who are putting these fine filaments ...

Scientists have developed an acid-based solvent that simplifies carbon nanotube processing in a way that's less toxic and easy to scale up for industrial applications. Carbon nanotubes that are prone ...

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 ...

Since its invention, Kevlar has saved thousands of lives thanks to the synthetic polymer being both incredibly lightweight and incredibly strong. However, Kevlar is far from the last word on ballistic ...

Huntsman has begun construction on a pilot plant near San Antonio, Texas, that will convert methane to carbon nanotubes and hydrogen. The 30-metric-ton-per-year facility is set to open by the end of ...
