Carbon nanotubes, the experimental materials seen as possible replacements for conventional chip-making materials, conduct electricity better than any other material at room temperature, according to ...

One of the most fundamental problems with growing organs in a petri dish (metaphorically speaking) is that organs don't grow in petri dishes. That is to say, the naturally grown organs we'd like to ...

Korean scientists present a copper-free motor that uses carbon nanotube wires, promising lighter and greener energy.

Carbon nanotubes have been heralded as the next big thing in nanomaterials thanks to their incredible abilities (though there are some reservations). Now it seems ...

Maintaining soil health is critical for water regulation, pollutant filtration, nutrient cycling, and long-term agricultural productivity. 1 To support these functions, researchers are exploring novel ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have made tungsten disulfide nanotubes which point in the same direction when formed, for the first time. They used a sapphire surface ...
